Haha orange peel never bugs me, I'm an ace with sandpaper and compounds
Glad to hear it holds up well. I'll see if my local store carries or supplies it. That orange is spectacular!
Edit : you use a cat primer or 1k? Know a lot of boys are swapping to epoxy primers lately.
Yeah it's not that bad, but i think I know what cause it. I think I spray with to much psi. When I paint the side panels they should look better. I'm pretty new to painting, so there is still a lot to learn.
For the primer i use nason 421-19 2k urethane.
At work we use it, that why I went with this paint.

Did you put anything on the bare metal before that primer? It's not meant for DTM application. I always put a DTM primer, such as self etching or epoxy before I put any urethane primers or sealers on. Of course, for a desk that will most likely spend it's life indoors, it probably won't matter that much anyway. I like that primer by the way. Fills great, dries fast, and it's still easy to sand.

Yeah, I use rust-oleum self etching spray can. I didn't want to go to crazy with getting a etching so I found this and the reviews were good for what I want it to do.
What pressure do you spray the nason single stage?

Is that pressure with a HVLP or siphon gun?

I use it for both. My HVLP gun I use for clear says a max of 30psi and the paint instructions usually say spray with 18-20psi usually, but it comes out much smoother at 40 for me.
