How to Stop Orange Peel

- To get the best possible finish using a spray gun there are many factors that will come in to it, the main areas you need to focus on are air pressures, paint viscosity (thickness), distance of the gun from the panel and gun settings. So in this video I have taken a lot of time doing experiments to show you the difference it makes using the wrong settings compared having it setup properly. I will be demonstrating with the DeVilbiss Gti Pro Lite using both Conventional TE20 & HVLP H1 air caps. I hope you enjoy and can follow without being too confused, I will do my best to answer any questions to help out.

Absolutely appreciated your time and effort. It is very rare when someone educating this way, with examples etc. and not just "playing the professional"! Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to go out of your way and educate. Very much appreciated, your tips have improved my overall skill.
Thanks Gunman. It's noticible the amount of time and effort you put you these videos. As apprentice and an amateur in body repair and painting, your videos have helped me so much! Thanks a million man ! I hope someday I'll be able to paint like you do!
I can tell you put allot of time and planning in making this video. It was really much appreciated. I enjoyed seeing the different parts of the panel using different settings and distance. It turned out to be a very educational video thanks :)
I'm a home shop new painter, and as I work through my project ('72 C20), I come back to review this and several other of your videos~ outstanding help! Thank you!
Very helpful to see the various settings/distances! And thank you as I know there is a ton of time and prep goes into this project and you do it selflessly to help - Thank you Gunman!!!
Awesome video Gunman. I've watched it many times, and I always to return to it for reference. I'm the in-house detailer for a luxury car showroom located on the Costa-del-Sol in Spain and over the years I've corrected hundreds of paint jobs, both factory and refinished paint, on some of the worlds finest cars. But I always felt that I needed to learn how to paint and extend my professional capabilities. Well thanks to you I've just recently taken my detailing services to the next level and started spraying paint. Thanks a million for your awesome instructional videos Gunman. You're the best on TH-cam!
great video!!! no one seems to explain or break it down like you do in this one!
thanks again.
Gunman I appreciate what you do I'm a 30 year painter and I have learned so much from your vids! You rock thanks a lot!
Another great Gunman production, keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the LVLP video. Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to do these videos they show your love for the trade.
Nice work man ! we should all be honoured with your hard work putting these vids together and explaining so clearly,thanks mate.
Years later and this is still an amazing informative video. I love the science experiment feel with different variables. Just bought a '63 Ford F600 I can't wait to pain. Thanks for the video!
I am a paint sprayer from few years and i used to learn a LOT from you. Thank you for exchange your experience wit us.
Thanks for your channel. I recently discovered your channel and subscribed after watching a few...and it just keeps on getting better for me as I delve into the watching the plethora of videos you have uploaded.
As many others have said, it is really appreciated the time and effort that you put into your posts. Of course, all the time and the effort means nothing if the quality of the content is not worthy of the time and effort. Your content is very high quality and very worthwhile. Real world applications, problems and solutions. Kudos to you.
This topic reminds me of an incident quite a few years ago when my daughter backed into a car., owned by a young man visiting a neighbour. A very good friend, who is a spray painter, offered to fix the other vehicle, only asking my daughter just for the cost of the materials (at my insistence. He would have done it for free, but I insisted she needed to learn from her mistake. A real world lesson as she was only 18). As a non-spray tech, I thought the young man's car looked nice.
The young male owner who was fresh out of high school and thought he knew everything about the world, including how to spray paint a car.... because his car had recently been resprayed. He proceeded to criticise the quality of the repair work.
Now my friend is an automotive paint rep for a paint distributor and his job was showing paint shops how to paint his company's paint products. He has been in the game since he was 18 (and was mid 50's at that time). It is safe to say he knew his stuff.
What followed was a critique of this young man's criticism of the repair. This dissection included such details as you are demonstrating in this video about the quality of the resultant clearcoat matching the existing clearcoat on the vehicle.
As my friend said "I can easily adjust my repair work to get the finish/quality of the clearcoat, to have less orange peel, but then it will look better than the rest of your (shitty) paint job. By the time my friend was finished the young man realised that the quality of his new full respray was not as good as he first thought it was after all. Gulp. That was real world schooling for the young man who thought he knew everything. LOL
Anyway, thanks again from a new subscriber located in Brisbane, Australia.
thank you gunman ..for taking your time doing all the videos ....after 6 years go i came.back to remember where i gett some of my skills
Ran across this video! Thank you for your time spent in educating the masses on proper painting. I've not tried reducer in clear yet but I will try it today. Great video!
Great vids. One can always learn something by watching and listening.One thing I do find is that a second coat of clear flows out better than the first and a third coat even better again. So while a perfectly flat coat is not possible it is possible to get pretty damn close.Keep up the vids. You obviously know your stuff.
Always love seeing a new paint vid upload from you gunman. Keep up the quality videos
I just painted my 1969 Chevy C10 and it came out nearly perfect thanks to the sharing of your exceptional insight and skills.
Reduced the clear. Set the gun up full spray. Turned out the fluid 4 turns and kept the gun 5cm from my work. Hardly even a hint of orange peel. I have 3 small sags/runs on the entire truck. Have to look hard to see them.
Thank you very much!
Your video's are totally awesome!
Keep up the good work.
Shouldn't get any sags
Thanks for your continued help in making us all better painters.
I REALLY REALLY appreciate the time and effort you put into this vid!!!
Thanks :-)

For sure!
I love the MGB GTs.
Aone Kustomz iiii
This was extremely helpful. For a newbie like me, i learned alot. Thank you
I know this video is a lil old but just wanted to thank you for taking time to do these. I for one really appreciate it. They have helped me tremendously.....
thanks for taking the time to make this video mate. you've helped me put right where I was going wrong.
Thanks for your videos. As a complete self taught car restorer I am beginning to get some acceptable finishes. Thanks for your help at improving my skills.
good job gunman & thanks for laying down the clear and the pointers. I appreciate your time!
Thank you for taking the time, and a lot of effort to produce this video for us all.
Great explanations, I'm sure it'll help me next time I shoot a clear.
Thanks
Very good of you to lay out all the various settings to show the good and bad effects of the orange peel.
Your fans appreciate the effort you give. Thanks G'Man!! Nicely done and explained.
Great great great video mate!
Thank you for taking the time!
This right here is priceless!
Well this is probably the best video on clear coat on the net. Heres what you get when you do this. Crazy how no one e er did this before. You gotta know why your clear is not right so you can fix it. Thanks so much. This video cured my orange peel issue.
I cant thank you enough Gunman!Really,you have no idea how much this video has helped me. I really appreciate it,Your time and effort will definitely not go to waste, i wish one day ,i could be as good as you! Thanks!
Been painting for 13 years now professionally and this is a great video, all bang on stuff!! I find the gun set up is a big factor and he gun itself, reducer aswell!
Awesome instructional video! Just saved thousands of dollars and a couple weeks of frustration trying to figure it out on our own! Great job and thanks for the effort on your part. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Canada.
+Scott Hooper thanks man 👊
you hoped we appreciate it? I am only up the 2 minute mark and already cant wait. Thanks for the hard work!
Great job with the videos. I've been painting cars on and of for years . But I haven't painted anything for over 5 years and just starting to get back into it now , It's great to be able to get some pointers . Thanks Carl
Thanks for stopping by mate, check this blog I just did.

Just wanted to say a mahoosive thanks for this video. People normally make instructional videos simply to say ‘look at me’
I’ve just bought an HVLP gun to paint my road bike after someone keyed it. Was struggling with consistency and orange peel and couldn’t understand why
Moving the gun closer and working with a better spray pattern... my frame looks like it just rolled off the line.
Thanks again mate, legend!!
I agree with the comments about gratitude for your effort! What an amazing demonstration in the spray booth! I have had horrible results with my hvlp clears and i now know my gun was way way too far away. Thank you so much!
The guy before me said exactly what I was thinking yes we thank you very much for all your time and effort and all your videos especially this one
I've been looking for avoiding the "OEM Finish" orange peels but to spray the clear as flat as possible so that I can delivery custom motorcycle paints (especially the dark windshield) with minimal sanding and buffing. Found nothing until I saw your "double it" approach in another candy paint video and the using of slow reducer and info in this video. Really saved my day, great thanks.
Great video as usual. Lots of great information. I think the right reduction for me will play a big key. Thanks again Gunman.
YES, VIVE LA SCIENCE. Mate that is a great and very clear fix. THANK YOU so lets see if I have distilled this right...If its peely then you can.
* Up the pressure, (but not too much or it will go dry yes?)
* Get closer (but dont go too slow or it will run)
* Thin the material ( but not too much or you'll get runs, reduce the gloss, get solvent pop)
Have I got that right?
Mate the TAFE should be sending their teachers to YOU for "proper" training. Keep up the great work and dont think for a minute that we dont all appreciate it. Cheers
TresMamboMusicSchool Yes, Yes, Yes. Top of the class :-)
Sorry for the stupid question but do these techniques apply to base and clear coat?
Videos like these take a lot time and effort....thank you for that brother!
Top notch informational vid! Thanks for taking the time to make this! I'm sure it took lots of time to set up and video it!
Velvethamma Best part of a day went into this one.
Thank you a lot man, this video still out there helping people, including me. Learned a lot.
We are ever grateful for the time you take to teach us all professionals. Your videos have been an eye opener for all of us. Heartfelt thanks from India for taking such an enormous effort to teach us something new everytime.
God bless your family.
Warm Regards
On behalf of all professionals who learn from you
Awesome job and I appreciate the time that you put into your videos!
Very good video mate. I think it explains very good to less experienced people the idea of "orange peel" and makes it clear that a 100% glass looking finish is not possible out of the gun.
Excellent video has cleared up where I went wrong with the last bit of paint I did!
That was excellent, really informative and well presented. Thanks for take a big chunk of time from your schedule to do such a great video, it's very much appreciated.
Thanks for the appreciation man
Excellent video really appreciate you taking the time to make it, helped me paint my boat. Cheers!
Thanks for making this great video Gunman
Man that GT looks SO NICE. Great work
I can not thank you enough for sharing your expertise... THANK YOU!
WOW THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL
Thank you. Very informative.
Cleaaaaan work at the end
This is a phenomenal video and AMAZINGLY HELPFUL.
THANK YOU for putting in the time/effort. This is a difficult and complex issue, but your approach clarified the whole mess a LOT.
I had a friend that had his own trick. After he added reducer he put a half ounce of thinner. Try it, test it.
Thanks for taking your time to do this video.
King of spray painting on YT
Thanks! Great demo on the interplay between distance, pressure and viscosity. I just laid down a crappy orange peal primer. Obviously 20 cm Was too far away and I was only adjusting viscosity and upping the air pressure a bit. Going to block and retry. Thanks again for the knowledge.
Awesome man. I'm a first year in Sydney so still have a lot to learn. Your videos are helping a lot. Cheers
Awesome video! Best explanation I've seen. Super helpful.
I absolutely appreciate what you take time to show us lot, thanks for it.
Thanks mate I'm glad you appreciate the vids.
Hey brother thanks so much for this video! You really helped me get my spray gun setup. I sprayed a really beautiful job this weekend, thanks to your helpful videos.
Thanks for the time you put into the video. I do videos in my shop occasionally also and I know how much time ot takes. Thanks again!
Thank you for the time you put into this.
Great video !!! I see a few areas I will be able to improve on. I was using u-pol and Dupont hs clears with 10% reducer or none at all. Could have used a touch more. I will move faster, closer to panels with tighter overlap. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this helpful video ! Thanks Gunman !
Great video!!!!! Thank you... I really appreciate the time you put into explaining "your science project". I've rented a paint booth and will paint tomorrow. I'm an amateur and have painted a total of 13 (complete) cars. Your videos helped me understand some of the mistakes I've made in the past. Well done!!!!
Great video; I learnt a great deal about that important final finish. Thanks
Thanks for a really informative and useful video. Couldn't have asked for better on the subject.
This is why I watch lots of time and effort in this video .I have been afraid to go up on the reducer for fear of the clear coat not lasting but I want to try it at 20 percent .
I love your vids, and this one was really helpful. Thankyou mate
Thanks for you time and effort mate. Appreciate it!
Excellent video, learning so much, you effort is truly appreciated very much!
Legend man your videos are brilliant - totally appreciate your work.!
we always appreciate your videos and effort
Great video buddy.So good to see that comparison and appreciate the work and research involved in this video.Cheers
wow...
THANK YOU very much !!
one of the best GREAT TUTORIAL on youtube that i've ever seen so far !
Extremely helpful and very much appreciated!
Really appreciate this video gunman,im studying body and paint at collage,and hope i get as good as you,i enjoy all aspects of this trade,its great. I always tell the other students to check out your channel.
Thanks Gunman, your videos are very educational. 👍👍
Cheers buddy. Love watching your vids
Thanks so much for your videos! I'm a beginner and really appreciate your tutorial skills.
Thanks so much. Your videos are excellent and have saved me from a lot of mistakes, again thanks
Great information in this video. Thank you for taking the time for sure.
Thanks Gunman, this vid is awesome. I can apply you're info to why I'm get orange peel, I spray Pro-line epoxy with 35psi and about 7" away, now the gun will be around 6cm and move a little quicker.
Thanks for all your time
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid ,very insightful
Thanks for watching.
You are so incredibly helpful mate, thank you.
Great video Man! Very much appreciated; really informative. Thanks.
GREAT VIDEO!! i cannot thank you enough for your work its really great! keep it up always u are a star!!!
Great division of samples. I’ll definitely use these suggestions in respraying some clear on my Airstream argosy end caps!
Helpful video thanks. Beautiful finish on that MGB mate!
I REALLY REALLY appreciate the time and effort you put into this vid
Much appreciated!!!
This must take a long time
more like this. direct comparisons. This was fantastic. you can take the same idea and create a whole series of direct compares with different settings, different reducers, metallics, pearls, etc etc etc... which honestly, is what is severely lacking on youtube. Or anywhere else for that matter. Seeing is believing..... This video helped a lot.
Cheers Gunny, We all do appreciate the time and stuffing around you put into your productions.
I like the colour on the MGB GT but not a fan of a white engine bay but I'm sure it comes out well.
Cheers Cavemanmic
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Haven't seen a video on cut and buffing orange peel, did I miss it.
edsf100 I have a whole playlist on my channel. This link should get you there.

Hi Gunny
Great video, thanks for sharing this critical process of correctly mixing the clear and variation on pressure and distance to the panel. WOW. Keep up the great video, I actually look forward to Thursday and Sundays watching your videos.
Cheers

subbed, I have learned a lot in just a couple videos, thank you.
I do appreciate this video, well done thanks for all the tips and info.
thank you! I'm having trouble with budget acrylic enamel and have been battling OP. You gave me some insight to try varying gun distance. However I had problems with stripes when I had gun too close before which has kept me further away which has helped get a uniform result. I will now try to see if I can cut OP and avoid stripes. still learning and thanks again. The clear recommended thinned 4:1 (I do not use hardener) I had cotton candy flying even down to 3:1, 2:1 was better, then I went to 1:1 and even 1:2 I bet you think insane!
Great video, very appreciated the detail and time spent here! 5 cm seems so close. Thanks
