Default more lacquer (spraying) questions

Seems I can get it right only by accident.

And, since I'm at a point where it needs to be perfect (doors, etc.),
I'm ba-ack (here asking questions).

Using HVLP system and a solvent based product (Magna Shield from Hood
Finishing) and got lots of orange peel. Consistent orange peel.
Since I was outside, it may have been the humidity. Maybe.


As you spray, are you spraying into your own over spray? You should be.

You want the over spray to mainly land on the area not yet sprayed. To
do this, the first "face" pass should be along the side closest to you,
with overlapping passes until you do the far edge. Before spraying the
face, do a pass along all four edges.
