Hi Duncan, In a nutshell, you will have to slow down on your speed, and if
you were spraying at appx. 8 in. (thumb to pinkie, hand stretched) with a
conventional gun, move in closer with your spray passes. Probably only 4 or
5 inches. (100 to 130 mm). Best advice is to practice on a scrap hood or
bonnet, and use a dark colour so you can observe your spray pattern better.
Go to a auto dent shop to ask for a junk panel they are throwing out. Be
precise with mix ratios and fan control. Good luck, let me know how you do.
