You should use a primer of some type with those paints, and also pick up a bottle of Future/ Pledge with Future Shine or what the heck ever it is called this week. Walmart usually has it, and I think Market Basket?? Not totally sure, though. Use the Future to thin the paint, helps it flow really well, level out well and makes it more durable.

Forgot to say I did use future to thin it. Honestly i think my psi was to high. Idk ive been getting people telling me 15-25 psi. lol I was just trying it out |

Ok, well then yeah, drop your PSI. I generally spray everything, enamels, lacquers, acrylics, at about 15-20 PSI.
Glad you were able to get your new compressor up and running!

First off, Apple barrel paints are generally for fabric such as T-shirts. They aren't meant to go over non-porous material like plastic. That being said, a coarse primer would go a long way to give that paint something to grab. Other than that, I haven't got any good advice.

Don't go over 22 psi, for anything, I run mine about 17 PSI just for nail polish, rule of thumb for me, the thinner the medium the lower the PSI, and I use ALWAYS primer, with any medium, I use Dupli-Color, ALWAYS.... "65 Impala no build, with fingernail polish, shot at 17 PSI, 2 hours after finale coat, no clear, and no orange peel.      |

at 17psi nothing came out lol. Nothing would come out till i hit almost 30psi. Its probably my mix ratio, Everyone been telling me the consistency of milk.... Well ok, unless i have a bottle of milk right next to me how do i know. And is this 1%, 2%, Whole Milk, Fat Free, Skim Milk, Lactaid, I could go on lol

Lacquer thinner, just some cheap stuff from Walmart, at a 2/1 mix, was using a 50/50, but found it took to many coats, at 20 PSI, dropped to 17 PSI still to many coats, so went ahead and went to 2/1 mix, light mist coats, till full cover, 24 hours, then a med coat, 24 hours, then went with a mild heavy coat, and what you see is after 2 hour's, and of course wet sand and wash between, and I use Kleen Kolor nail polish, and another brand, but for the most part, Kleen Kolor, mixed with House Of Kolor paint, and Dupli-Color primer, and I used fire brick red primer as may base kolor primer, also a lil tip, the kolor of your primer will help with a tint to your base kolor.... |

And is this 1%, 2%, Whole Milk, Fat Free, Skim Milk, Lactaid, I could go on lol use alcohol at, well start with about 75/25 mix, and work your way down, 75% paint, 25 glass cleaner, or alcohol, at about 22 PSI, with a 3m needle, use a 5m, or more for thicker, or powder'd flake, start there and work your way down on/and or, the kolor, and the cut, and PSI, 30 is to high, check out some youtube vid's. Hope this helps a lil, sorry.... |
