69 Cuda resto

it's up around 30 psi. I used the hood as a test panel and it seemed to come out pretty good.

Frankly, I'm not sure about the PSI at the gun. I just set the compressor at about 40 psi and adjust at the gun until I get what I think is working well. Also, I think the tip I used was too big. I think it was a 2mm tip. I'm about to buy a new gun with smaller tips and an inline psi gauge.

Do yourself a favor buy a gravity HVLP gun. HVLP is high volume low pressure. Put the inline gauge right at the gun. Use the pressure at the gun what it calls for. It will be around 8-15 psi at the gun. Also see what the clear calls for. Where you get the clear ask for a product info sheet, they will print one out for ya. It will have all the info on the clear, spray pressure at gun, lash time between coats, dry times ect. You might want try a 1.3 to 1.5 tip. Now if your not using a HVLP gun try 45 to 50 psi at the gun not at the compressor. Pressure at the gun can dictate how much orange peel you get.
