Orangepeeleriffic. I don't know if single-stage will colorsand, but I hope so. I blame the gun primarily. I think the paint would never has been as nice as HOK, but it would have laid on a lot smoother and faster with a Sata.
I spent 3 1/3 hours doing just the charcoal color! That Harbor Freight gun has either no fan width or no volume. I like firehose guns, this gun sucks balls. Plus! You can't see yellow when it's coming out! Could have been the bad lighting, but after the first coat I may as well have been blind.
Lesson to be learned for the snake, someone needs to pony up for a Sata of if we use that Husky, we will be colorsanding. For sure.

Aaron's gun (don't know if you've seen it) is apparently some knock-off of a Gucci german made gun. And you know the Germans make good stuff.
