So I am trying to get my rad support painted with satin black paint. I have tried 2 time now and after I think I am done, I come back later and find that I have still not been able to get black paint into all the areas.

For the setup I have been hanging up side down, this makes me think that I can get more paint into the areas with my gravity gun better under the top lip. But after spraying 2 wet coats and letting dry I found I still missed a lot of the nook and crannies areas. So I scuffed it up good as per the TDS the next day and re-shot the whole thing this time hanging it right side up. Thinking with every spray to making sure to get paint at every angle to get into the nooks and crannies. But still after letting it dry and have a good look still found some places where the primer is not fully covered. I will add that I had the rad support split in half and sandblasted and primed at a local shop. the reason I split it was I needed to use the good front part from one and the better rear part. I felt while apart would be a great time to have blasted and epoxy primed.

I guess my question is would hanging a piece like a rad support from the end and not the top or bottom be a better setup for success? I am finding that the gravity feed cup is getting in the way, preventing me from getting the perfect angles to get the spray into the right areas. mostly when trying to spray up under into a cavity. I am still learning and I think that this is a great piece to learn and practice setups and techniques.

Or would it be worth having it lay down and shoot one side and then come back later and turn it over and then shoot the back side. Which to me just means more cleaning and mixing of the paint.

thought and advice or maybe some notable videos worth watching...
