Correct adjustment of the paint sprayer is important for painting with metallic paints.
Use nozzle 1.3-1.5 and spray pressure of 300-500 kPa (43-73 psi).
The wrong nozzle combination can make it impossible to achieve the correct color tone.
Bad dispersion because of the incorrect nozzle leads to large drops and too "wet" (dark) spraying.
Too thick a coat leads to patchiness.

Spray base metallic paint 1st coat
