I'm definetly no expert, i just started to learn to paint my 67 as i'm going along. One thing ive been doing religiously from every coat since bare metal is to wipe the suface with prep solvent , wet the floor (and not because i'm excited either) to keep down the dust, then tack rag it just before paint. Ive done that process for etch primer, primer and final paint and im pretty happy so far. also dont forget the water filter at the base of the gun, the guy at my paint shop swears by them, (and at them to for that matter) . Hope that helps
