    well how is all? im an apprentice panel beater with no job! so im doing work for my self at home im using devilbiss t1 and t2 guns. i use spies heker wb paint and sikkens autolear lv clear. basically i can get a good finish on bumpers an stuff if their off the car but say if i had to paint the side of a car i would get either a very dry finish or a load of runs in the clear. i have no trouble with the wb paint only trying to dry it! so if any one could tel me a good set up for the gun and technique for painting because i was never tought how to paint. i would be very gratefully because i am burned of flatting clear! sound

    Being an apprentice, do you have any text books or other books? If so, it would be a good idea to brush up on your theory then practice a lot. It can take a while to become proficient at refinishing and achieving consistent quality.

    There are the basics, like proper gun setup and basic spraying techniques which will be essential for you to master.
