Re: Pearl vs Metallic questions

Thanks for the pointers, I definitely rushed the sanding just to get the color test going on this scrap door panel. On the truck Ill be stepping up the sanding. Good to know also about how you run the gun with air and fluid dials wide open when using the regulator at the gun inlet. The exercise Brians got me doing is to get a consistent individual panel application since the space I have to paint in wont allow for my truck to be fully assembled when painting. And then this metallic paint making it more tricky to keep consistent with that panel for panel approach. I wonder if I need to scuff up the side that Im about to paint over as the test, since its been over 24 hrs since I last painted. But this is just a test, maybe it ok to just shoot the paint?
