Why are you using an Imron reducer? Don't do that. Use the recommended
8022S reducer with your 793S overall Gloss Hardener. What air pressure
and gun are you using? I usually reduce about 50% and never had any bad
orange peel. If you use the recommended material, then its probably the
wrong gun and/or air pressure. I have successfully painted my series I
with Centauri and it looks great.
