Hi.. what psi should I set my gun for when painting my base and clearcoat's? Gun says don't exceed 50 psi.. for primer set regulator to 50 psi.. it is a 60 gallon compressor... not too stressed about the priming cause I have to sand anyways... but just wondered if there is a certain pressure I should be spraying at when doing the final coats... thanks guys... I have a few other posts about the door spacing... and about painting..... different though.. if any of you get a chance any input would be great!!
