hm, thats interesting, because every time i tried spraying a water based paint there was no coverage. iv had pitting in the fresh paint on two occasions, obviously because of "wrong" surface prep. i dont touch it any more, but i dont have to.
Watch a youtube video about Ferrari or Porsche manufacturing. The automatic paint rigs make it look easy. Looks like the paint heads are
sprinkling sugar on the panels. There are also manual paint ops.
Those setups have exhaust air carrying the fog away from the painter. In a booth without a down draft the place fogs up and you can't see
what you are doing. Seeing how the paint is getting laid down can allow for some manual corrections during the process. Like if a corner is not
done yet.
Powder coat is like coating any object with porcelain. Try removing some with sandpaper. Very tough.
