3 HVLP gun set, I think it's a SATA set, I'd have to look.
50% overlap per pass.
it's just a pearl, not really rocket science.
running 4 coats of clear over it, buffing about one back off.

Are you painting yourself or is someone doing it for you?

most of it's being done by a guy I know with a full downdraft booth etc, so it's done right.
overspray is pretty minimal. everything is taped up and primed already, and it's a pretty large vehicle.
