I painted my whole car in Acrylic pearl on about 30-35 psi. ps. you could also try cross hatching your spraying. Do one coat horizontally, and the next coat vertically (you should be able to turn the nossle on your spray gun to do this). Cross hatching is a good way to blend in pearls and metallics. Indeed, 55PSI is probably a little high. Try 35-40psi. Too higher pressure causes the paint to heat up as it comes out the tip due to more friction. The results would/could be pretty various... As for thinning, the last acrylic I used (wattyl supercryl) recommended thinning it to 150%, ie. 1 litre of paint would have 500mL of thinners. With the ratios you guys are using wouldn't it be water thin? [Report message to a moderator]
