Orange Civic! Lots of Pics!
Here is my Project that i just finished the paint on. i am still going to cut and polish but it turned out really good,
The entire car was stripped to bare metal. so i knew exactly what i was painting over
I blocked the doors and fenders to the car so the line up prefect and straight all way through
I painted the inside of the Carbon Fiber Hood, and the Engine Bay is already complete. it was sandblasted primmed and painted
Tell Me What you think!
The front bumper i cut the mesh out ofthe three vents and shaved
I welded up the Atenna Hole on the A Piller, and skinned the trunk lid
Now With Clear!

I see a few runs a bunch of peel but other than that good job!
The run's on a easy place to cut it down though. The peel is minor, too much fluid coming out of your gun, if you adjust it down a little it'll be fine.

You laid down the paint nicely, but when you paint colors like this you should've placed the doors and other parts on the car because the pearl isn't going to be laid at the same angle, and you're going to have nasty tape lines in your jambs.

i thought peel is caused by not having enough pressure...thats at least what I've been told

when you dont have enough pressure it wont be a even spray causing the orange peel, but also if you try to spray the paint too thick there will be orange peel so both of you are correct, he needs to either lean out the spray or he didnt have enough pressure..... or both haha

Re: (91zc4door)
i think in response to orange peel, ha ha go figure, anyway. orange peel is caused by lack of air pressure. i usually spray clearcoats at about 45-50 at the wall. I then fine tune it from the gauge at the gun. for those true painters out there, you can just hear it, na mean? by the way, is that the orange from the lambo? i love it.

Re: (powerflow)
It depends on your gun. On my Iwata I shoot around 25-30 with the trigger pulled. I usually don't touch the pressure after that and adjust my fan width and fluid accordingly.
Lack of pressure and too much fluid = peel. Key word being too much fluid, you can adjust your gun to compensate for lack of pressure by turning down your fluid output.
I always though peel was caused by having too much material and it not atomizing nice enough to lay out evenly...

that would have been nice to know when i was adjusting my devilbiss finishline, first time i had adjusted a gun myself and I got a lot of peel. I think i was spraying at 23psi, but my clear coat tech sheet said 40 at the gun. whoops, so that with a lot of fluid=orange peel
