I also use a Grex and love it. I use about 28 lb. of pressure and the number 3 tip. Your primer has to be smooth. I use 3600 polishing cloth . Paint should be the consistency of 2 percent milk. i only use lacquer paints. A trick i use is to spray 876 lacquer thinner as the last coat. If you have a problem email or pm me. You have to have patience and practice. If you can join a club do it. Go to shows - ask questions that is how i started .

Hope this helps.  Castrol Super Clean can be your best friend when you are starting out.

Go to an auto paint store and ask for a PPG black that they mix and tell them not to mix anything with it -- just tell them you want the pure black. That would be the blackest I know of.  I sell this pure black, but since you're on the east coast, it would probably cost a ridiculous amount to ship a 1 oz. bottle to you.

It was nice meeting you Casey . 

Bob's Paint, etc. will be at the Milwaukee NNL and the Joan Dunn show this weekend.  Hope to see you there!

Great job! nice paint.
