PUNISHER VETTE
Sorry all. I didn't want to hijack the thread about orange peel for the other guy so here's mine.
Using my 400 with a 1.4 tip spraying primer just so I can get used to it so I'm less likely to screw up the base.
I sprayed 1 medium coat(which I hear you should do with metallics(although this is primmer I wanted to try a medium coat anyway)).
Then to use up whatever I had left in the gun I made a 2nd pass on half the hood before I ran out.
That 2nd pass had terrible orange peel at first. Less once it dried a little.
Should I just stick with thinner coats to avoid the orange peel? I'm terrified since I'm doing a metallic if I get orange peel I'm screwed...
I also read the orange peel thread that says it's fluid adjustment... but should I lay it on even thicker? seems like the thin stuff went down smoother.
The one coat side
The orange peel on the two coat side....sorry...hard to take a pic of it.
