    hi guys,

    i paint as a hobby in my spare time, I’ve accumulated knowledge on how to paint from watching people on youtube and advise from this forum, I’m currently doing a restoration project on a BMW e21 323i as a joint venture with a friend, i couldn’t wait to see what it turn out like and i wasn’t going to paint the whole car to find out, so i thought id paint the boot lid first…

    the gun i used is a deltalyo sigma 6000 series, must say its got a nice feel to it…

    usually gun adjustments , proper reduction and temps or gun movement and distance usually a combination of these .

    A slightly less wet final coat will usually make it right.
