use a lot of fluoresent tubelight try to see the reflection in the part you spray
it starts like an orangepeel when you move too fast or use to little paint keep moving the gun slower or add more paint to the gun till you see in the reflection that the orange peel slowly flows out and the surface starts to gloss thats the speed you need to keep all over with that setting of youre gun or else it goes dripping or whont flow out
try to get long even strokes and keep the distance between gun and surface the same all across , every lengthwize interuption will be visible as a change in gloss do the whole panel before the paint starts to set dont paint the left of the roof and do the quarterpanel before moving to the other side it will show as a dull line .
why people take out the doors and the hood ?
because then when they paint the whole car so they dont have to run back and forth
i used to paint semi trucktrailers there no doors on the side of that , my trackrecord back and forth 18 meter of trailer while climbing up and down a rolling scaffold still stands at that company i think

Thanks for the tips. When I painted my Motorcycle a few weeks ago, I didn't run the clear, and came out really glossy. When I went back to take a look after about 10 minutes it had a sag in it. I guess I applied too much.

I think lighting had a lot to do with it. Hopefully I'll get it figured out before I start doing the bigger pieces.

I struck out on the 292 power steering brackets, I did find one complete set and you are first in line when he makes up his mind if they are for sale Looking good Dave

No kiddin. Don't these Longhorn boys know who their dealing with.

i heared this one in a magazine once : a guy had painted his truck in single stage and spotted a run on the hood shortly after he cleaned and put the gun away , he opened the hood and left it up that did the trick
he couldnt find the run after the paint was dry
when its a small part you could try hanging it upside down

Now you tell me.

Sanded my runs out. Wiped it all down with degreaser. One coat no runs. Got to wait 20 min. for the second coat. More light helped a lot. Also adjusted the paint vol down a bit.

Your truck is looking good in BSU orange, But please no Blue on it,, that would just be terrible.

[Strodder]

Never? It's flat. I guess I could put flat clear?

[Strodder]

I think I would. It would be more durable, and easier to clean.

[daverod]

I'll have to check it.

[daverod]

Ok I'm going to clear it but just the flames. Old school ones with long whips. The rest is going to be flat. No clear. I'm never going to get it dirty. If it does I'll just repaint it. I have the knowledge.

That will look good. But I would still paint semi flat clear on it. It can also stain and fade. Do it once and don't skimp on the details.

[daverod]

I'll have to think about it. You might know something. Seems like most people don't. Would be better.

[Strodder]

Ask around at paint shops to see if I'm right. Or someone chime in here. What do all you other guys think?

I just went to the paint section and typed in hot rod flatz. Still thinking.
