Re: stopping orange peel

well I turned my gun pressure up to 29psi..what a difference it made...I had to repaint all my previously painted parts
when I started trying to wetsand the painted parts ,the orange peel really started looking bad...the more I sanded the worse it looked....1500g was a waste of time...600g would wear you out just on one panel..so I dropped down to 400g...and it still wasnt easy ..but I got it all out...
that led to repaint because I started getting into primer..
the paint went on almost smooth as glass..a huge improvement from before
I havnt wet sanded anything yet but it looks so much better than it did...if it wasn't for the nibs, id almost let it go like it is..
