Re: Orange peel
Far from a painter and not a pro at painting. I have painted though...
I can confirm that you have an idea of cautions (as you listed). In my experience with painting is preparation, clean surface, no oils or water. Patience is very important.
As an experienced technician I can say, you learn from performing the work itself. Test panels gives you an idea how your work might/would turn out. If things go well, dive deeper and paint more. If not, figure out what problems you may need to work on. Gives a great base point.
One thing I do know... The more time you put into the job before the painting, the nice the result will be.
I have seen great youtube, and other vids online. I have watched "Tetz Paintucation" and learned quite a bit.
I painted my truck in single stage and 10 years later still happy with my results. My mistakes were running low on paint, a bit of a rush in some areas, and not painting with consistent conditions.
I have pics in my profile areas to show the disassembly I did with my truck.
