[quote=”Red Baron” post=23405]Well, getting orange peel can be from a lot of factors;
Too far away
Moving too fast
Too fast drying product
Poor atomization
Going over something that has texture (like poorly sprayed base)
Gun setup wrong
Not enough air VOLUME in the gunis there an Echo in here ?
Sure water isn’t as fast as solvent but theres not that much as a difference. I run a production shop and am doing quite fine with it. Try out some other types of drying methods or like ben said change your paint system
get a tec sheet on the clear you are using and follow it exactly how it is stated, if not you are asking for trouble. you should be able to obtain a tech sheet at your local jobber or online. Orange peel can come from many variables, gun distance,gun set up, air pressure, in-experiance, etc.
that is exactly what happens. great job :clappy
I have recently switched form 3m to norton buffing process. The Norton black Ice is a great compound/swirl elimanator. conpound and glaze all in one just use two different pads. Theres a blue for the compound step and a white for the swirl elimanition. Works great.
try using two water traps or an in line water separater. It a relativly cheap fix for such a big pain in the azz problem. :silly:

Yep! Remove the bumper and use a heat gun from the back of the bumper and re-shape it by pushing on it. (not with your hands, lol) check this video out, it’ll help you. thanks to my friend pete!

Good job on the video jack. The 4 inch rubber block is my favourite too. :weights

Is the plastic bumper primed? if so there is no need to apply ad. pro. just lightly sand with 800 or equivlant and apply sealer with a flexable additive/base/clear.
If the plastic bumper is just bare plastic it will need to be first cleaned with a plastic cleaner to remove any release agent from the mould it was made in. Sand the bumper with 800 or equilvant than apply a light coat of adhesion promoter,no need to sand it just let flash for 10 mins apply a sealer with flex add/base/clear
:weightsgood job. I have a running board to fit the drivers side :cheer:
