Yes, I remember that with my first water based experience. It sure looked 
like orange peel to me as I was spraying out of a HVLP setup. Oh No! I 
thought as I debated whether or not to quickly wipe it off. I thought 
something was wrong with my gun and changed tips several times before I 
just let it go and waited to see how it dried. Still wish I had a little 
warning for that one. I found, too, that stripper doesn't do much with this 
stuff. I'm speaking of the Oxford Premium Spray Lacquer. Not only did I 
goof on one piece but then i had a devil of a time getting it back off! 
I've sprayed Nitro before but not very often. It was still, however, enough 
to make the water based a bit of a learning curve. Still learning am I and 
really appreciating this discussion!!

Appreciatively,
Greg Newell
