Bigfoot01 is 100% correct. I totally forgot to answer that part of the question DUH. What I gave ya was how to treat a cold paint spray bottle. I think its bed time for Bonzo....LOL

I am familiar with the orange peel problem. It is normally a direct result of applying the coats to heavily. It is best to apply several very light coats of paint,and allowing each one to dry completely before applying the next. When first applied it may appear to have a sand paper texture, but as it dries it will level itself out. "been there, done that" :)

Try heating the paint cans up a lil bit. REMEMBER not boiling water but more like bath water( hot enough but you still can touch). This helps out w/ the flow of paint.
WOW paint cans bring back some memories of my childhood modeling..!!!!
Also the room that your painting in has to be at least room temp w/ basically no humidity(maybe try a dehumidifier).
You know this is probably one of many possible answers. Good luck and flaps up, Mike
