Yeah, I don't know if it was me, the spray gun, the product or what, but it was the worst orange peel I have ever experienced.  The nice thing is that it really did bring the color back to original, and it looks better than I had hoped at this point.  Glad this job is OVER!

Did you do it outside in the sun?

Looks great by the way.

No, I waited until around 7pm each evening and did it when the heat was down.  Otherwise I might be dead of exhaustion!

It does claim to offer "excellent UV protection".
