I finally got the set up in my garage to do some painting. Between two moves and a new job, I have not painted anything in 5 years. Getting a little rusty.
I am using the Klasskote epoxy paint. I am using an inexpensive external mix siphon fed gun about the size of a touch up gun. I used to mix 1 part paint, 1 part hardener and i part thinner. But I ended up having a sandy finish with orange peel. It is just the primer coat that I am going to sand anyway so no big deal there. But I want to spray the color this weekend. Should I thin the paint some more?
In the past I have found that thinning it too much with sometimes result in blushing on a humid day...and of course the paint would run more easily. I have also found that clear coat requires more thinning than color to have a smooth finish. Does it make sense?
Thanks,
