Spraying lacquer

[kcasser]

Thank you, MacS, but are you sanding between coats or not? And, what means 2pac?

Halp!

I'm spraying black glossy nitrocellulose lacquer with an Earlex 5000 Pro Spray Station. I have the 1.5mm needle turned out about 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 turns which seems to work well. I thinned out the lacquer to about 22 seconds. I'm doing better than I was yesterday. I'm still getting what look like pinholes on the surface. What can I do? I've read that I should use Star Flash-Off Control Solvent, but I can't find any. My sprayer doesn't seem to have a condensation trap, so I don't know what else to do. Do I need to thin the paint more? I was at about 40 seconds yesterday, and today was quite a bit better. Thank you for your help. I'm going to try again tomorrow.
