Back to the BBs. A good spray gun atomises paint. It breaks your clear into tiny droplets. Basically squeezing it and dispersing it equally.
When you are spraying clear you want it broken down into the smallest drops possible. Like BBs compared to bowling balls.
What is smoother? A layer of BBs or a layer of bowling balls?
Trust me. This harbor freight gun lays BBs

Great explanation and great timing. I'm getting close to painting the roof of my Suburban base/clear.
