Just reading. Couldn't tell you where I read it.

Streaks are surfactants in the paint coming out. A wash or couple of rains would clear it. Normally the wood would soak that up, but the surfaces we are putting it on are non porous.

I actually did call Behr with a question and they picked up the phone and answered it surprisingly.

Did my Jimmy a few months back (non MV) used a HF sprayer and thinned out the paint quite a lot w/ floetrol and a tiny bit of water.

Well, I can say that here in phx @ 90 deg you need more than 4:1 flotrol. I mixed up at that ratio w/ a couple of oz's of water mixed in and the hf hvlp did kinda splatter. So the texture is pretty rough. However, I'm happy with it, covers up my crappy bodywork. lol I will also say I had...

How big of a bottle of flotrol did you use with the paint whne you sprayed?

Oh, the other thing I discussed w/ Behr, is if it dries too fast, it will not have proper adhesion time. I did experiment w/ spraying it on a rack I'm putting on my truck, and it came out rough - I didn't mind though. I thinned significantly w/ water and it required more coats to get cover...

I called Behr because the can says not to apply above 85Deg - which won't bill till October here in Phx. Person on the line said it would end up w/ a rougher texture if done in the heat because it would dry before having a chance to flow and lay out flat. So maybe add some water/flotrol and...

I know this thread has been dead a couple of months. But wanted to check in to see how the paint is holding up a few years later. Esp, in the desert southwest. UV here is pretty rough on paint. Josh
