It seems I am the new member of the famous Stewart’s Orange Peel club.
I have tried almost all settings, lost one week and half of gallon of tests but still orange peel.
To those who reached a perfect gloss, what settings did you use ? Pressure, volume (nb of tours), distance, increase of volume for next layers, viscosity, drying time between layers …
I know each gun can be different but the official instruction didn’t work for me.
I will try again but if I don’t get a good result I will switch to other top coats. I am even considering car paints.
Thank you.
