I am just spraying some old cabinets in a satin black finish and managed to get a good even sheen on two of them then ran out of paint. Got more paint, mixed it up and now I can't get that smooth satin finish on the last panel.
The finish is coming out all powdery, it's like the paint is drying before it hits the job.
Paint is el cheapo acrylic lacquer from local car parts shop.
I have played around with different thinning ratios and air pressures but just can't seem to find the right combination.
Got any hints?
More thinners, or less?
