So I painted my VF-1 fenders to mostly match my car over the weekend. However botht hte color and the clear went on very orange-peely. I overlapped my wet coats by half the spray pattern like I read you are supposed to do, but it seemed dry, when I slowed down the side to side motion of the gun I would get pinholes indicating too thick of a film. Do I just have a shitty gun or am I doing something wrong? It's an HVLP gun, the air pressure was first set at 25 running PSI then bumped up to about 35 running PSI and that seemed to help a very small amount, but everything I read says not to go over 40 PSI so I didn't go any higher. I am wet sanding and polishing my fenders so not a big deal in regards to that but I would like to not have to do so much work when I paint my front bumper next weekend. Anyone have some tips on getting s smoother finish from my semi-cheap Ebay HVLP gun?
