SilverHold about 1/12 inch from the surface at 19 to 25 psi.Thin about 65%.
Whoa! 1/12" in mighty close to your work, eh? Watch out for runs...

One of the guys on there was showing how to do this exact thing.
Depends on the subject. On autos, I spray each side at a time. Aircrafts, I start with the undersides first (top side, front and back) then the topside each side at a time. All in light coats using rattle can clearcoats.
Do you spray your clear coat from top to bottom or bottom to top?
I find a good thick coat works but I put it on by doing several light coats in immediate succession. But there is a point at which it gets too thick and will run. Like most skills in modeling, practice helps. Paint a hunk of something and then practice glosscoating till you find the optimum thickness.

I forgot to mentioned that I used rattle can to do my gloss coat
Actually, I find light coats don't work. You need to use a larger needle, nozzle size and spray it on heavy, or just before it starts to run. Remember to use at least 50% overlap and hold the airbrush farther away from the surface than you normally do.
Light coats always work best.You just need to practice with the right mix,psi,and distance away till you get it right.
I am putting gloss clear coat on an car body and if I lightly spray it, it will dry with a mist look and not flatten but if I spray it more to removed the mist look some of the coat will over flow on the bottom of the car. What's the best way to do it?
