they say that runners and drops are usually caused by too thick mixture.

and orangepeel can be solved by sanding with 400 grid every two coats to polish the tops of.

I am gonna thin my mix and see if it helps...just wanted to give you this information, because you really inspired me to finally startup my rolling project too
maybe they may mean runs and drops from putting it on to thick?
cause i got the same orange peel when i did it before in 95,but with sanding it got a bit better.....never thought to thin it

but i tell ya it sure got harder after driving in 30+ humidity temps and no top
i went downtown friday stuck in traffic could smell the paint cookin in the heat
this is a shot just down from parlament hill(arrow) close as i could get Canada day 3:45pm
and if you stick your camera out the back of your truck without looking you get your roof lol
but heck it looks shiney!!
