Default Problem with two coats

I have the hobby type pc gun and have just recently started powder coating with good results. I recently tried two coats (curing in between) and it seems like the powder doesnt want to stick to the first coat. I checked the grouding seemed ok. Do I need to start with a thinner coat. I have not tried clear over anything yet is that easier? Also what causes orange peel? It seems like when I put a heavier coat on it has less orange peel, is this a good assumption?

Thanks again!

Evan

Try this when doing two coats jush as translucents over chrome base.
Shot your second color(coat) whilie the part is around 150 degrees.
This is how I do my two step trans. colors and get very great results.
Let me know if this helps.
