Most urethane paints allow up to 10-20% thinner to be added. Even so, the most skilled sprayers will usually always have a degree of orange peel in the finish. If you look at ANY modern OEM paint finish it has orange peel. It’s because the hardeners in the paint don’t allow it to smooth out enough prior to drying.
Trying a slower hardener will decrease orange peel to be very minimal if sprayed well, however this increases chances of defects due to dust etc. and takes longer to dry.
Orange Peel is where the paint takes on the appearance of the skin of an orange. Its normally when paint has been applied too heavy. It can be rubbed down and buffed out.
@ paulspalace: Orange peel is formed when paint is applied too lightly/overspray has landed after coating. The goal is to get enough paint on the surface to allow the paint to flatten and smooth out before it dries, without causing runs.
You’re correct it can be rubbed down and buffed out, myself having painted several cars/parts. Sanding/Removing the gloss of gun finish is something you’ll almost always regret when using urethane paints. Unless the spray pattern is ordinary, of course.
