I've been working with one of the lechler industrial ones that's supposed to be matte.
But if you spray it normally it's much more satin than matte.
The job below was done with epoxy primer, and then the top. It was then left for weeks as my oven isn't large enough to bake it, abraded with scotch (actually Mirka but same stuff) and then another couple of coats, wet on wet.
First of final costs was standard, and the second was very lean, just for the texture.
My question -
This is pretty much just what you don't want to do when painting gloss. My concern is that, whilst the job looks spot on how I want it to, will it just be weak?
The primer and first coat, and indeed the first of the wet on wet are done as standard, it's only the last coat that is "wrong". So it's not like it's going to chip to bare metal, but will my second wet on wet bond properly to the coat under it or am I going to find that it is unusually weak?
This is an indoor item in a low stress environment but I don't want people getting upset, so, am I on the right path, or is there a more sensible way to get a true matte (rather than satin) finish out of a gun?
Thank you.
