This is my first shot to working with clear coat,I have always used acrylic enamel paint and could easily make it shine with depth.
I have tried unsuccessfully for the past 3 days to Clear Coat my hood.The 1st time.it just came out rough..Sanded it down and did it again,wound up with mucho orange peel.sanded it down again and coated it a little heavier and wound up with orange peel and (dust?)
I have tried 2 light coats and one wet coat,2 light coats and 2 heavy coats..adjust air from 25 to 45 lbs,
I am using a Ingersoll-Rand gravity feed gun(have used it with much success for about 3 years) with 1.6 fluid tip
PPG Clear coat and catalyst with a 4 to 1 ratio

any advice would be appreciated
