i cant' call myself a pro. only done 7 or 8 auto jobs, but i've sprayed hundreds of gallons of paint for industrial equipment... so it's not new to me.
i find the nason solid color really needs about 25% more reducer then they call for. i'll end up with a rough finish, and i put it on thick enough to run. but it just won't lay out... the metalics, when mixed to the directions lay out as nice as can be
had i tip from a body man, make sure what your spraying is grounded, it helps the flake lay down. keeps any static from affecting the pattern. seems to work for me

Ya I always hang a piece of 3/8" chain to act as a ground. A body guy showed me this in 1984 while painting my 78 Chev Man I miss that truck

Here we use the DUCHESNE VAPOUR BARRIER DOOR DRAFT SYSTEM ;D It worked last time and she didn't leave me This time I'll even hook up a box fan in the man door to remove those pesky fumes. How's that for sucking up?
