pretty shiney. shot the bc/cc with a tekna. first time using it. love it! think i need a 1.4 tip for the cc. had some op, but wasnt bad. had to take some time off to take care of other business, but god willing, have her back together this week

Are you using the 7E7 air cap with the Tekna? That would help eliminate any orange peel. I've been using the Tekna for the last couple of jobs and it's worked great.

[tomsteve]

yup, got the 7E7. i think, well, actually know, it has to do with my technique. but thatll get better with time.
