Well my local paint store kinda convinced me to paint the 914 with Dupont centari, Single stage Enamel, I'm using the low temp reducer, and not the "gloss enhancer"... So the directions say 8 parts paint 2 parts reducer...It kinda warm her and the garage is staying at mid 60 constantly.... it is mega thich and I'm having to go more like 8 paint and 4 reducer.. but it is mega dry and doesnt flow out.... and mega orange peel... I 'm using a Sata JET NR 95 HVLP gun and a 1.5 tip, which is what I have always used, but I havent ever shot out singe stage in it,,, What the hell is going on. I used to paint a fair amount, But in the last 5 years the only thing I have shot is panel repair on our explorer after 2 separate accidents, last time was about 2 years ago...

looking online it looks like Dupont changed their mixing ratios to meet air quality standards it used to be 4 : 1 . and they also are saying Gloss hardener is optional, but to use 2000 ...So I may try that...and they say not to use the "hot" cold weather reducer... even though it says to. any thoughts... for now I'm gonna wait, wet sand down my orange peel and give it a go later... bu the way I'm am using a respirator, face sock and tyvek suit, to protect myself and also I have a squirrel cage fan exhausting the fumes
