There is a slight texture to them when you touch them, but definitely smaller than orange peel, and I just don't know if that is because this is flat laytex and thus naturally feels a bit "scratchy."


Slow down the movement on your spray pass. That will help deposit a bit more paint so that the micro droplets have a chance to bond to each other. it feels wrong but will give you the results that you are looking for.

Reality is with HVLP spaying that you are putting on so little paint that it will have tack dried within seconds of you painting, and cured within 1/2 an hour enough that your can recover with a second coat. As you are sanding, waiting that extra time is probably a good idea as it gives extra time for it to bond and the next coat will have a similar molecular structure to bond to.

Looks good from what you have posted.
