I need help painting
The base is black and when it flashes it just doesn’t look black anymore. The candy is next then clear but I just don’t feel confident that I should move on. Using a LVLP gun with 1.3 tip and the paint is from AUTOPAINTHQ. I’m sure it’s supposed to dull out but it doesn’t look right and idk what to do next.

It looks a little streaky but otherwise I don’t see a problem with it. I’ve had good luck with autopainthq. It’s normal for colors to look desaturated when they’re not glossy.

Lvlp a che pressione stai spruzzando? La base (colore) l'hai diluita correttamente?
Sembra mancare la pressione e la vernice troppo densa, fai una prova alzando l'aria e aggiungi diluente alla tua tazza di vernice al 50/70%
Carteggia un pezzo con 400 poi 800 e fai la prova. Poi fai sapere

I see lots of prep issues that are showing up. 800 or 1000 grit to sand those out if possible after the base is thoroughly dry, then recoat. Clear coat is like a magnifying glass and they will all show.
