Orange Peal or ?

[dadspackard]

Is this a classic case of some bad Orange Peal or ?

Can this be wet/color sanded and buffed out?

The paint is PRO-SPRAY SS urethane. I have two coats on there.

Thanks for all the help

looks like OP to me. If its a solid color it can be cut and polished

88GT,

Thanks. I hope it does. If I have to respray I think I will lay the panel flat. Seems like I got less or no Orange Peal on the other panels that I sprayed that were laying flat.

try slowing down your reducer/activator too, and watch as you spray. Look for flow out.

If you have a spray gun that isn't atomizing well it can be just about impossible to spray the paint smoothly. If you have a good gun then watch the surface as you spray, if looks like your pictures while it's wet then there's a good chance you can spray more paint on top to get it to flow better. Like 88GT said a slower reducer will help the paint flow after it hits the surface but you still need to watch to see that it's flowing before it starts to setup.

Len and 88,

Thanks for replies. It is has been drying for two days now. So my option now is to do what?

This is the gun I bought DEVGFG670 DeVilbiss Plus Spray Gun Kit with cleaning kit & lube and oil.

I think I may have been going to fast with the gun. These were the first panels I had painted with this gun. The other panels I slowed it down and they came out ok. Some bugs and trash which hopefully will sand out.

Yes, that's an excellent spray gun so it's probably your technique or the reducer dried too fast or a combination of both.

You can try leveling the peel with some 1200 or 1500 grit wet sandpaper then polishing or you can level it then repaint. If you intend on repainting you could sand with 600 grit or finer.

Thanks, I have some more paint and some 1,500 and 2,00o paper coming. I don't have a buffer but my friend does and offered to help when it came time to buff and shine :)

Hopefully I can knock them down. If I may be come a pro at spraying :)
