I have never used epoxy primer before and I have limited paint experience so tomorrow will be an experiment. Is orange peel typically an air pressure issue or mixture issue or both? What adjustments should be made when I encounter it? What do I start with? What is the sequence? Thanks
Gun is Devilbiss FinishLine 3 HVLP. Paint is DP90LF

Why are you worried about orange peel in primer? You're going to have to scuff epoxy to get filler primer to "bite" properly followed by numerous coats and block sanding of the filler primer so it really doesn't matter?!

For me, orange peel has become a useful tool in helping to know how much to wetsand before buffing. Virtually all new cars have it on their finish coats and they have for some time.
