Orange peel effect

Poor surface texture of the paint finish (poor spray pattern)

Causes

1. Spraygun held too far from object
2. Spray pressure too low (poor atomization)
3. Paint film too thin
4. Viscosity too high (paint too thick)
5. Hardener and/or thinner too fast for the conditions or size of object
6. Spray nozzle too small
7. Flash-off time too long between coats

HOW TO AVOID

1. Keep spraygun within the recommended distance from the object. 
2. Ensure spray pressure is as recommended. 
3. Always apply wet coats. 
4. Adjust paint viscosity as recommended. 
5. Choose correct hardener and thinner ( temperature table). 
6. See tech data for correct choice of spray nozzle. 
7. Allow a long enough flash-off between coats.
