Tex -
I can help you with your paint questions...I was in the paint
manufacturing and application services business for over forty years.
First I need to know if you are using enamel, lacquer, urethane or ?.
You definitely have "orange peel" and overspray. It could be because
the paint was too viscous (not thinned enough) or the compressor
pressure was too low or the air temp and humidity. It could also be the
tip size that was on your spraygun.
Before you do anything about it contact me and I will help you correct
the texture on the first coat and the succeeding one. If you used plain
ole enamel it will be awhile before you can wet sand or use rubbing
compound on the first coat.

I finally put some paint on my 59 this weekend. It is not exactly as I
hoped, but I can do it again easy enough. Here is the situation: The
paint is very uniform, very even. The problem is that it has almost a
"hammered" finish, or like a matte style photo. I do not know why. I
adjusted the gun's air flow and spray, but no change. Do I need to thin
the paint? Or what? If it wasn't on a vehicle I'd say it looks pretty
cool. It looks like I was just going for a textured finish or something.
Ok, besides that I was wondering what prep is needed on the first coat to
paint over it? I planned on sanding it, but is that it? Wet sand, etc?
Thanks alot!
BTW I guess I have been with this list near the beginning but I did not
know it. I think it was 95? or 96? It has been a big help.
