I think you're right there FrankieD. After I bumped the pressure up a little things went a lot better, but WAY too fast! I wanted to thin the paint some but wasn't sure if I could reduce it with laquer thinner??? The good news is that it layed down pretty good and I'm done with that color (well, almost). I think I'm going to follow Elco's advice and use a BC/CC for the pretty stuff. Thanks for chiming in!!
