thanks for all the comments…
ye stick to the proper procedure is the only way eh
i love the way u guys explain, it has so much details.

we hardly get any new panels to paint in my shop
mostly some 2nd hand parts with little damages..
so i just wonder if i could fix it and put it in the booth straight away.
this why i was asking .

try this
turn the fan knob all the way out
paint control knob 2-3 turns out (if u get run too much, turn this knob in. vice versa)
set pressure at 2bar (get a pressure gauge if u r not sure)

u dont have to paint the first coat real wet n shiny, just medium coat
always go 50% overlap
touch the masking paper n see if the clear is dried
once is dried, u can paint the 2nd coat wet

that’s wat i do

keep the gun 6in away from the panel
i cant describe how fast u should move ur gun
but u have to look as u go
at the right speed u will see the clear is little bit peeling
once u know that speed, u just try to maintain that speed
the clear will flatten out during its drying process, so dont have to paint it real flat or u will get runs…..

i think your orange peels is from painting with low pressure n too much paint because dat’s wat heppened to me from my first few paintings…lol :dnc :dnc
hope this helps
go hard

You had an exact problem as what my shop has now, i guess it’s just time to change your filters like how we change our mask filters…i guess…

before my boss is getting a new filter, we always drain before entering the booth…so ye hope this helps
