I think it is simply a matter of not enough practice. I implied that I had orange peel when I responded to the initial post. The term overspray, or dry spray is probably more appropriate. When I spray a hood, I will typically start at the bottom of one side then work up the side, over the top and down the other side -- lengthwise, not crosswise. I am probably ok until I begin to work down the opposite side, then at the final curve of the hood, "overspray" can (not always) strike the newly painted top surface at the wrong angle, resulting in about the same thing as happened to your fenders, only worse. Actually, spraying the hood crosswise might help, provided I can keep the gun perpendicular as I go around. On a long hood that means more, shorter passes, and for me, more chances to screw up -- but, I have done that on a grille with pretty good success. The person who suggested the smaller tip is a person, who, like yourself, has painted for a long time -- I used to correspond with him by email. Only difference is that he uses the same HVLP gun as I do, he also likes PPG Omni. Otherwise you two are on the same page, all of the time.
