Once again I come hat in hand in search of wisdom.
I've sprayed the first coat of epoxy inside of my trunk, which is beyond frustrating to begin with. I was looking things over before starting the second coat, and found that in the larger flat areas the paint went down beautiful for the most part. In areas where I stopped/started spraying again, I found small patches of orange peel that look a lot like my spray pattern. I think when I pull the trigger, the initial blast of air only (before the needle starts to open) is causing it to orange peel in those areas and its not flowing back out. It's so hard to control distance/speed working inside the trunk like that, I know in some places I just flat out got too close.
I'm a novice to begin with, using a starting line gun (not the best) and a 1.5 tip, regulator set about 30, fluid dialed in per the SPI tech manual. Would it make sense to dial back the fluid some, and as much as I hate to say it go with two additional, dryer coats?
Man I'm looking forward to spraying big flat panels again...
Thanks again folks.
