could have had a shitty gun that did not atomize and spray well. the gun may have been improbperly cleaned between base and clear. wrong size tip on the gun. there are many possibilities here. i think were all reading too far into this sitiuation. to the OP, telling us you did it right because your friend went to school for painting ( which im sure was just a boces class) doesnt mean anything. ive got a friend thats a surgeon, yet, im not performing open heart surgery… there are many gun control techniques that need to be mastered along with getting familier with certain products, not to mention spray patterns and that shit… CLIFFS the first car anyone ever paints is always going to be at least a 25 footer. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-help-with-a-car-paint-situation/25117)._
