Re: TA_C10: Stage 1

And here we go again, scuffed the paint, taped it off, and sprayed it again. This time the paint came out much smoother, I still needed less air at the gun but it's soooo much better. Turns out my little regulator gauge is crap. Long story short, too much air at the gun atomized the paint too much causing it to almost dry instantly which gives a rough surface to the paint. So I didn't trust the gauge this time and just played with it till I liked the wetness on cardboard. Then tested it on one of my doors. Then shot the truck with 3 more coats. I can run a microfiber towel over it now and it doesn't catch like it did before. When I do the whole truck, I will dial the air back just a tad more and I think it will be good to go.
