if I understand correctly, the warm temp reducer results in less orange peel, correct? Is that because up takes longer to evaporate, giving the paint more time to "spread out". I was using the medium temp, but the high temp stuff may be worth a try. Thanks!


your welcome, that's correct. DT885 is definitely worth a...shot. i'll go punch myself in the face now. the smaller the fluid nozzle, the higher the air pressure, and the more runny the paint is, the finer the atomization. that results in smaller particles and more flowing. in addition, the higher temp reducer takes longer to evaporate. be careful adding additional reducer with the DT885. that doesn't mean you can't... it means be careful. otherwise, you'll become a master of sanding out runs. with concept, if you get runs in the paint the runs will appear a very light gray after they are sanded out. ask me how i know.... also, i don't know how experienced you are with spraying, but this comes in handy:
