Rob Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks good, keep up the progress, I have learnt something by the photos.

On doors for example hang via hooks in the glass run channel from an apparatus so the outer sides are in the vertical plane. Although it is difficult to explain the atomization of the topcoat impacting the surface if different, (usually thicker) when the part is laying down rather than standing up. This is why the hue, or color appears different in a solid color topcoat. Part of this can be compensated by a couple more psi in HVLP equipment, or 5-7 psi increase in conventional spray equipment. Metallics are a different animal altogether with mottling, blotching, sunken metallics, mica, or color separation, etc. Even "water white" clearcoats appear different from parts painted out of proper orientation.Your project looks good.
