What tip and amount of flow for oil based paint like SW ProClassic? I'm getting orange peel with my first coat of primer.

as has been noted its all about the paper your using...50 grit is fast, 80 a little less so...100 is a nice happy medium...120 180 are for first pass coating prep and 220 320 for finish coating prep....paint drips will depend on oil or latex...oil is harder and latex gummier ...varnish drips very hard....so heavier more aggressive paper may be needed....I like it for trim work but have found chemicals natural or synthetic more effective for larger areas.

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.

it depends on what you're painting. i sue this paint for the final highlights because it is very thin. what are you painting? you need to do several layers with this paint because it is so thin.

Hello Twigs: First, I would check the heat temperature rating on this product (side of can). I used all of mine so I no longer have the can in front of me. Next would be to measure the surface temp of your exhaust manifold. As I work part time for an "Orange Colored" box store, I can safely tell you that Rust-Oleum makes all different types of heat resistant paint. Punch in "high temp exhaust manifold spray paint" on your Amazon search box and see what comes up. The paint you are asking about, I used on my Weber Grill which can and has gotten up to 500 degrees F. This paint did not peel or flake. Good luck!

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

Actually youd be quite surprised at very few colors id go with primer first then spray with either can or air brush special effects would use a few more colors than revell calls for

What I like to do is use a good sealant first like "Klasse", then apply a carnauba wax like P21s over it. It helps to have a good paint job to begin with of course.

I did have one door with a slight "orange peel" finish. I had used Zinzer primer on some dark places I was concerned about bleeding thru the white paint. On the other door, I used 'deglosser' and no primer and it came out smooth as glass. I used 3 light coats of Sherwin Williams Door & Trim paint.

The consistency is kind of like SAE motor oil...just a little thicker but still kind of runny in compared to other polishes. You should be good~

I've never had a problem with this painter. I had to get under a cabinet I'm refinishing and was pointing the sprayer up, it didn't leak or have an issue with residual paint going in different places. I would say however, if you are painting eaves just do it on a day that doesn't have any wind. You know how that can get :)

Elshad, From the research I was able to do on your question, this is what I've gathered: The product description gives this info: Liquids unsuitable for the seripettor pro include, but are not limited to: Hydrofluoric acid, or other chemicals that attack polypropylene, PTFE, ETFE, FEP, PFA, alumina-ceramic, platinum-iridium, and borosilicate glass, carbon disulfide, density exceeding 2.2g/cm3, viscosity exceeding 150mm2/s (10mL instrument), 75mm2/s (25mL instrument) vapor pressure exceeding 500mbar. Temperature of instrument and reagents must be between 59 and 104F (15 and 40C). Agar culture media to 140F (60C). I looked up alkyd paints on Wiki, and read that there can be different viscosities depending on the manufacturing process and quality of the paint. So, my answer would be as long as the paint has a viscosity of less than 150 sq.mm./s. Since you work with the paint, you're definitely more knowledgeable than I am on that. I hope this helps.

This is good but you need to thin the paint with water. You can make the spray a minimum or maximum with knob near the trigger. And you need to clean it super thorough. Other than that it's really good and super conservative with paint

No need for any primer, ever. This paint is an Urethane-acrylic formula. It adheres to "hard-to-stick" surfaces, including polyurethane and varnish, without a primer. Use foam brushes. If 2 coats are desired, wait 24 hours, although it will be dry to touch after an hour or so. Don't rush to get to the second coat because you may have "draping effect." Light sanding with a high # black sandpaper followed by a tack cloth to remove all dust. If done well, this paint lasts almost forever, so take your time.

It would take you way too long to buff out by hand an orange peel effect with this stuff, it doesn't cut down the clear coat enough to get it right. It would need a buffer with various grades of cutting compound followed by glaze to seal it in depending on how bad the peel is.

You really shouldn't have any streaks with the final coat, Bob. Why not call their help line and see what they recommend? Otherwise, try waiting several days until the final resin completely sets up. Lightly sand with some very fine sand paper and then lay down a topcoat of quality polyurethane. I have no idea about the chemistry of the resin and the polyurethane, but it might be less expensive than ordering more of the resin from Rust-Oleum.

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.
