HI all !!!
I’m using spray enamels in a spray can… my quesyion is, i’m getting alot of orange peel… Am i doing something wrong??? even is i spray just one coat i still get… i’ve tried soaking the can in warm water, swirling the can instead of shking it, and my room is room temp…
[banghead]
Any sugeations???
[soapbox]
Just one…Dump those crummy cans and get yourself an airbrush!.[:)]
I am, i’m ordering a kit from airbrush city, check out the thread…
Thanks
How far away away are you? Have you switched brands?(Is this a new problem)…Do you have another can of the same color? I know it sounds odd but I had the problem once and I had 2 cans…busted open the second can after sanding down the peel and painted away no problems…Dont know if that was the actual problem I was just relieved there wasnt any peel.

Iv’d tried different cans of thesamepaint, ec. etc., i’veholding the can away at different heights… just darn frustrating… airbrushing will eliminate this right??
Oh the paint can blues…
White is an Orange Peel in a can for me. I was on my 3rd try white spay with little luck…I had enough I went to an airbrush, single action Badger and I will never look back.
Orange peel is now a thing of the past! My only problem now is try to figure what to paint next!
However, I did find that some paints from a can had to be sprayed differently. Dark colours could handle a heavier coat and sometimes hide very minor defects. Light colours were best laied down in very thin coats. Also these light colours would only enhance any blemish that I forgot to sand, fill or remove before painting.
Just remember it is much easier to paint 2-3 thin coats then it is to paint-remove-paint.

I would buy from a reputable source such as Coast Airbrush, Dixie Art or Bear Air instead.
