Yes, you should strain the paint. When you set air at the gun you must have trigger pulled then adjust to 23 psi. Have your air line turned up. I run 150 psi @ tank, 120 psi @ line gauge, then the correct psi for my Sata NR-95. Flash time is for allowing the time for the solvent to escape from the paint befor applying next coat. Does your paint have a name other than "industrial grade" ? What ratio did you mix the hardener ? The pass you should make as long as the part, pull trigger just befor the edge of part you are painting continue until you go just past the edge on the other side. You may of had to much hardener, not enough air pressure, not enough reducer, dirt in your paint or holding gun to far from object, or a combination of these.

Hey Sammy: I put the topcoat on today, and thought about the questions you posed and things I should keep in mind as I use the HVLP gun. What I learned was this: I believe my base coat mixture was too dry; not enough reducer. I increased the reducer by 50% and it laid much flatter and much smoother. I also increased the psi at the gun to 45. That seemed to help propel it much better too; although there was noticeably more overspray...but within reason. Unfortunatley, I mixed one batch of paint in a cup with old paint...thinking the dried paint on the sides of the cup was cured. WRONG! the fresh paint dissolved the residual paint in the cup, and things were going so well that I didn't strain it. What came out of the gun was rubbery old paint crud, onto the final finish...just a couple pieces...but one, right in the middle of the dash. I need to let it harden now, and re-do that part. But it is fixable. Thank you for your insights...you helped me figure this HVLP thing out, and I am more skilled at it now than I was when I first started. 9N'er
