Hi Mike
I think you were using the wrong pressure, you should be able to get a tech
sheet for the paint from the supplier, including safety, application,
thinning, pressure etc.

> I just painted the engine compartment, floors and trunk in my TR4A last
week. I came out looking pretty good but I had more orange peel than I think
I should have. I have a Craftsman 5HP air compressor that puts out 9 cfm @
40 lbs and I have the Craftsman Auto paint quality gun that requires 7.2 cfm
at 40lbs. I set the compressor at 40 lbs. The primer went on real smooth but
not the color coat. I've painted before but not with enamal. It seemed to me
that I may have used to much pressure and the paint was drying to quickly.
Or could I have not thinned the paint enough.
