[Jukebox-list] juke cabinet painting help

    Rick, the volatility of the mixture will determine thinness of the 
paint.  Slow drying paint like enamel will be less prone to pimple. It will 
still have time to flow after hitting the surface. Lacquer is the worst in 
this respect. It will dry even before hitting the surface and needs to be 
sprayed thin and at low pressure. I like enamel or polyurethane best but you 
have to be careful of runs. Wes

Subject: [Jukebox-list] juke cabinet painting help


Hi all,
I'm trying to paint a juke cabinet with an air gun (compressor) and the 
paint comes out in a crystalin form (looks grainy and feels like sand 
paper). I adjusted the air pressure according to the gun specs and played 
with the mixture and pattern. Paint seems thin enough. I don't have this 
problem with my old wagner electric (airless) gun (but its messy and noisy 
and hard to clean) or a spray paint can (except hard to get even spray with 
the can). What am I doing wrong?  What do you all use when painting wood 
cabinets? I thought about a roller or brush. Any help here would be great. 
Thank you, Rick.
