Test panel. practice, keep the gun the same distance from the panel on each pass, and overlap 50% and dont spray it tooo wet.

spray in the same direction across the car correct? what about on the curves, do you paint diagnally? or just keep it the same direction the whole way?

If you stripe it you can usually spray it dry after (dusting) and get rid of most of it. You can add flop agent to it too but I've never used it. Ask your paint supplier they will help you out.

What i do is do a coat overlapping 50% then do an effects coat which is 100% overlapping. Helps the paint not have zebra stripes in it. But before i paint i go around the car, put the gun on low pressure and dial it down so its like a jam gun and go hit all the hard to get places (all edges). I do that to make sure you get color everwhere.
