Did I not thin the top coater enough?

I thinned the top coater white with about 10% kbs thinner and painted out my hplv gun. The spray pattern was a little thick like small fabric thread looking paint. See the picture for an up close view. I was wondering is this the intended outcome or is it suppose to be smooth?

KBS Top Coater should come out smooth when sprayed. You can add some additional thinner. Also, get the air pressure up at the gun and be sure to apply even thin coats.

Please report back to us after implementing those suggestions.

I went with a round 2 painting 2 layers of rust seal and 1 layer of top coater. For the rop coater, I gradually thinned the mixture until around 20% then it came it really well. Pics for reference

Don't pay attention to the cracked paint, haha my mistake for not prepping the original paint more, but this cosmetic won't matter since this is a crash bar support.

Looks good. Thanks for sharing the picture with us!
