Then drop the pressure to about 20 lbs. Open the fan pattern wide open and mist over the whole part. The reducer will melt in and the metallic will settle evenly. It worked for me on a 77 step side I sprayed years ago.

Hard to use old school on new paints. I'm a deluxe centari paint guy . The open period was a lot longer then but Its all good for a truck that will be used as as a truck. My Teckna spray gun likes at least 2 bar or it just spits. Should just dust off the old Binks No. 7.
