RUN SOM REDUCER THROUGH YOUR GUN WITH OUT ANY AIR HOSE AND SE IF IT COMES OUT IN A STEADY STREAM. IF NOT A STRAIGHT STREAM THEN GUN IS CLOGGED. SRRY BOUT CAPS. also b sure theres no moisture in the air when doing base and you can wait between coats. now the clear can b done anytime after base is layed down and do a light coat then a medium then a kinda heavy coat on the paint and clear. but on clear wait between coats till you can touch an oversprayed area and touch finger and thumb 2 gether and laeve a sticky trail kinda like bubble gum from the 2 fingers and then within a cpl mins start next coat. then let set all night and about 12 or so hours later water sand with 1000 grit. this is colorsanding. then get some 3m extra cut buffing compound and a godd multispeed buffer and buff till no sand scratches are visible. this takes the longest but must be done within 24 hrs. then if the paint hazes later buff untill paint no longer hazes.
