Robin Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I posted a question last year about spraying panels using cellulose paint and got some really good advice - thanks! I'm hoping to spray a door panel once the warmer weather arrives but one question I have is about flattening the top coat. Why do you need to do this and what happens if you just leave the final coat un-flattened? I'm sure there's a good reason so it would be really helpful to know. Thanks again Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Groves Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Getting it perfect out of the gun is very tricky, flatting and polishing will remove orange peel and any dirt that's landed in the paint, it makes for a better end result.

Thanks Darren So I flatten back with a fine grit paper and then polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 1500 if a bit orange peely, then 2000 grade. Then a bit of polish (G3 or similar) then wax..... Using old fashioned bar of soap on the wet+dry soften the effect a little if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
