A number of factors can cause orange peel texture in TotalBoat Wet Edge Topside Paint. When paint is applied by roller, the most common reason for orange peel is that too much paint was applied. When paint is applied by spray, the paint may not have been allowed to level properly, which could be caused by the gun being too far away from the surface or by improper spray settings on the gun. Other common reasons for orange peel include applying another coat before the previous coat is ready to accept it, or sanding and solvent-wiping a previous layer of paint before it is ready.
