What size tip is your gun? What grit did you sand with? Don't sand the basecoat.

 

go n get an regulator n n regulat it down to an 20-25 psi an try that...what brand of paint r u using?

 

if hes gun hvlp its high valve low pressure...so he need 20-25 at the tip......

 

HVLP is high volume low pressure

I doubt he has the ability to measuure the pressure at the tip/cap. Pressure at the gun is different from pressure at the tip/cap.

This is a nice little read. http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/hv...gun_basics.htm

 

i know what hvlp is......i paint everyday....a regulator on the gun to regulat it to 20-25 psi......thats what im trying to him...you cant spray a hvlp gun with 50 psi it wont happen he run the **** of it ,even with 35 if ur not fast enough

 

The primer is evercoat feather fill g2 premium polyester primer surfacer. It's hard as **** when it dries. I had some dry on the back of my gun (outside) and it wouldn't come off. I sanded the whole thing with 500 wet between primer coats. Then last night I spent hours block sanding with 1000 wet. The paint is matrix paint. It's not top of the line but better than omni I used on my car before. It's down the road made by ppg. As in made company that's headed by a company that was bought out by ppg. My father-n-law always used ppg but I can't offord it t the moment. I've been spraying with 45psi but whith the gun open it sits right at 40 psi. Nice test shape and tiny particles.

There is a small filter that goes in the bottom of the gravity feed can. Is that ok to use with mettalics?

 

Oh and it's a 1.4tip. The primer is a gallon with 4 little things of hardener.

 

45 psi lil high there man....if it at the tip....my 2.0 primer gun dont use that at the tip and it the sata top of the lie gun a $500 primer just

 

No no 45 at the compressor. Not at the tip.
