Maybe you guy that have more wisdom than I can hep me out. When I paint I seem to get over spray or air that takes the shinny gloss of part of the object I am painting. Some of my parts are perfect and than the next leave somthing to be desired. I am using 45psi and a suction style gun. Offer any advice

Your gun needs to be adjusted properly. Sounds to me like it has excess air at the edges of the pattern. I have a cheap touch up gun that does that, my good ones don't. Also you may need a slower reducer so that the next pass will blend into the previous pass instead of just settling on it as yours does. Remember to use 50% overlap. One other thing, with quality paint (PPG, DuPont, etc) you don't need to use thin coats. These paints are designed to cover in two coats, with the third for insurance, if needed. The more times you have to go over something, the more chance of screwing up. Don't paint at a temperature lower than 65 degrees. If you haven't painted much, you will find gravity feed (HVLP) much easier to use than suction feed.

If you can do this make yorself a paint room with a good exhaust fan and paint towards the fan , also putting the paint on thin and let it tack up before the next coat the first three coats should look like your sprayen Iodine and still see the primer thru the paint and drop your pressure at the gun to 35 40 lbs and when mixen the paint i like it thick enough that when ya bang the stur stick the paint that drops off hit the paint and looks like a B Bee. My one buddy taught me that and his apint jobs are great he can't apint a car or turck worthe a darn but he sure can lay it on a tractor.

First verify that you are using the correct pressure for the gun you are using. The next thing to conquer is the patience it takes for a gloss finish (correct preperation of the metal, primer, sanding, tack, color, and final coats, etc). Also be sure that you are using the correct amount of reducer and hardener for your spraying operation and paint you are using. Multiple light coats to establish a color base topped with a final coat that looks to almost run is the key. Patience is right up there with all the other ingredients! And by all means, talk to the guys at the body shop! H*ll...they do it for a living and most of them are willing to answer some questions for free! Good luck!
