A few things cause PEEL or DRYNESS in paint.
Spraying too far from the surface, leaves a dry appearance which can be confused with peel.
Spraying with too much or too little pressure can cause peel / dryness / mottling.
Peel is heavier with newer painters vs. those that have more interest / experience. Peel in a basecoat is extremely light, even with novice painters. The material is so much thinner than properly mixed clear when run through a viscosity cup.
A top quality painter can lay paint pretty flat or at least match the factory levels of peel. It just saves you on post-booth time. If you lay it correct, you really only need to sand out any dust that amy have fallen with some 2500. I have done full paint jobs where I sanded the basecoat flat with 600 and a block in the booth, then laid down two very flat coats of clear. Sanding basecoat is really only done if you make a mistake. The end results are amazing when done properly. the paint is like glass.
