Orange peel affect is on almost everything that is industral, as its a good strong coat and will last for years, auto finish is good bht need to be upkept


The paint rep dropped by today, showed him the pics of the boat and he also had a look at the effected steel work....

verdict => too heavy with the 2nd coat and way too hot when applied, the really bad areas are a contamination .

this is part of the effected steel work that was sprayed on the same day, oddly enough only half the beam was effected, the rest as we've since noted was in the shade and completely unaffected.
