HI!

i repainted my 87 camaro like 7 times, over and over again,
but somehow it just wont look acceptable.

Im using paint with same brand thinner, and when im spraying i go slow enough to see a shiny coat apearing, but when its dry its not flat but its all burry.

am i spraying to slow/thick?

i also think that the paint is drying to fast, is there a way to slow it down?

thanx

I'm no Martin Sr by any measure, but it sounds to me like orange peel.Maybe your thinner is too hot or you are putting in on too dry.
i would recommend you stop painting your car and practice on an old hood or something until you think you have it.

no im using just blackpaint (carpaint)
from TEOFLUX, with same brand thinner.

Its not the kind of paint with hardener.

i set my compressor on 4-5 bar

i use like 50-50 on the paint/thinner

when i finished painting like 10 layors i will wetsand it with grid 1500 and polish it until it shines or untill i loose my tempre again!

i restored the whole car myself, and now im stuck with that paint for over a year!!!

it makes me sick
