Re: I LIKE BLACK ,BUT IT DON'T LIKE ME
Have you tried to put in on thick where its about dripping when it comes out?
Sometimes black likes to have more powder than others.
Others will chime in on this.
Do you have a picture?
Also who's black is it and what's the name for it.

Re: I LIKE BLACK ,BUT IT DON'T LIKE ME
Im with these guys have you used this black before, and if you have and it did fine are you sure you did not pour a cup of the wrong black back into it and contaminate it? I have actually did that myself I poured hight temp black into about 3 lbs of mirror black one time. Leave one color in the gun over the weekend come in on Monday see black and pour it right into the wrong black container.Comment

Re: I LIKE BLACK ,BUT IT DON'T LIKE ME
the powder is the mirror black that came with an order i placed from here. i will get some pics up, and i shot it at 20,40,60,80,kv. the tank and fenders came out like wrinkle, but the side cover and oil tank cover came out smooth.,the side cover and oil tank cover were chrome that i a.o. blasted, the fenders and tank i shot first with killer pink primer. then top coated with e.w. iridescent emerald. i emailed ew to see what the composition of the emerald is but it came out smooth on 2 pieces. maybe its reacting with the primer? let me see if i can get up some picsComment
