Hi guys,
Thanks to all the advice I've had from here, today I was ready to go and try to paint a panel. I've got a scrap panel to practice on that had already had a few coats of waterbased basecoat, to prepare to repaint it I just scuffed it with a gray scotch pad, not sure if that was the right thing to do but anyway. So the good thing is that compressor/spray gun etc all seem to work well, i managed to paint the panel and from a few feet away it looked alright but close up there was what I beleive to be a lot lf orange peel.
Pics below(sorry for poor quality)
So the questions, is this orange peel? if so what are the expert opinions on how to stop this happening next time? I've read that gun pressure being too high can cause it(gun was set at 25psi, and that being too close to the panel can do it(possible)
So how can I check everything is setup as it should be for the next go? When I check my spray what am I really looking for so I don't get this texture?
Thanks again for all the help.
John.
