The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

I am sure Alun will have plans in hand when a change in manufacturer becomes necessary - have confidence in him. And maybe wait till he has some room in his garage.<br>

Its a bit hot and you are getting orange peel becuase the thinner is flashing off too quickly.<br>
Use more thinners or wait until its cool. It should look wet as you spray it on...if it doesnt and looks powdery you arent putting enough paint on.<br>

i agree with jon, but orange peel effect can also be caused by the pressure comming out of the gun. i wouldnt suggest adding too much thinners, better to turn the temp down slightly. cant remember if its low or high pressure thats the problem but i seem to remember it being too lower pressure.

flow agent may help, its a bit like thinners, but not...
