Painting at 20C and chose the extra slow reducer to get flow with acrylic. Sometimes the choice isn't quite right. :knockout:

I spray the SS similar to the way I shoot clear.... The TDS says I can go up to 2 parts reducer and I have been doing that to help it flow out. I do have another SS job coming up and I may try cutting the reducer back a bit. Just a learning curve I suspect.

i've sprayed a million gal of S/S
. i think to much reduction is going to hurt you back up on the reduction and up the air pressure. S/S enamels require considerable air pressure to atomize and go on smoothly.

LOL! I'm far from a competent painter but I rarely get runs when I bc/cc but for some reason (and this is only my 2nd single stage job), I find ss to be more challenging than a bc/cc. Maybe I am weird.
No your just learning. by the way what type of S/S are you useing, urathane, acrylic enamel, or synthetic?
