i have figured out i have been spraying with to low of air pressure at my gun,thanks to you guys and porchdog.

now i need to know how important shop temp is when spraying,i have a 30x30 detatched garage it is setup prettygood but no heat in it.
i do have a torpedo heater that runs on karasean.

outside temp here in missouri is in the 50s now can you guys give me some advice on what i should do when spraying the car with what i have got to work with? (please tell me what i should do)

i have been dealing with so much orangepeel on this learning experiance just want to get everything right for my next try.

thanks for the help and im sorry for all the questions, im going to learn this if i have to buy 4 gallons of base and clear and 4 gallons of stripper to strip it when i messup on it the 3rd,4th or 5th try.

heating blankets the night before then warm it up with the heater before spraying. surface temp is as important as ambient temp .

orange peel=fluid adjustment
sags - air pressure.
you get orange peel from too much fluid not enough air. turn the fluid down and slow down , lay it the way you want it to look.
