Ive got myself and my gun fairly close to being dialed in for spraying universal clear. But I feel like after looking at my fenders tonight that Im missing that one last adjustment to lessen my orange peel. I dont have bad orange peel, probably close to what my factory paint is on my 14 Silverado. Im just confused on which way to go, but I have an idea and Im wondering if anyone can confirm it.
In the picture posted I had 2 coats on and it was pretty slick, Im real happy with how it looks and its what Im trying to get in the finished product. I put one more coat on after this picture and got a little peel, so at this point Im fairly certain it was down to me and not really the gun. From what I recall I might have slowed down a little but I cant remember for sure.
In the how to adjust your paint gun section this is in it:
A simple formula to remember is orange peel is fluid adjustment and run control is an air pressure adjustment. If you’re getting a few runs try upping the air pressure 5-10 pounds more
Orange peel is fluid adjustment, which means if I slowed down I put more fluid on the panel and got slight orange peel. Is this correct thinking?
