Orange peel
Description of problem:
The paint is slightly granulated resembling the outside of an orange.
Causes:
– Bad spraying technique. The gun is either too far away or too close.
– Application thickness is either too little or too much.
– Thinner is too fast drying.
– Viscosity is too high.
– Incorrect air pressure.
– Temperature is too high.
– Insufficient sanding of substrate.
– Incorrect spray gun set up.
Preventive measures:
– Use correct spraying technique.
– Adjust the air pressure so as to minimize the “poussierage”.
– Use slower thinner or retarder.
– Use recommended thinning ratios.
– Use recommended gun set up.
– Prepare and sand substrate correctly.
Remedy:
– In minor cases, wait until the paint is fully dry and polish with a coarse
compound and then a fine compound.
– In more serious cases, you may have to sand with P1200 and polish.
– In extreme cases you should sand with P500/P1000 and respray.
