And, like shine said, lights... If you can't see how the paint is laying down, you can't see the blending of the spray pattern. And with the color you are using, you need lights...
and yes I did make sure to use a regulator on my gun and I dialed it right into the range it recommended at the gun (about 25), and I used a 1.5 tip and 1.3-1.5 was recommended.
I think just the speed of my hand, distance to the car and fan width were my major issues. Even just after reading some suggestions before I did that last coat showed a big improvement. I wish I could go back in time and start over.
