Shot this engine last week and this firewall the other day. As you can see I cover everything. Over spray is like dry wall dust. No matter how well you protect it can creep in.
Gun was about 30-35 Psi. Single stage enamel. My 40 year old Devilbiss suction style gun. Rarely get above that unless shooting metallic and then may go to 40 with a really reduced coat to even things out.
I have used the HVLP style of guns but if you don't have the entire setup(Right compresser. Gauges. ect.) it shoots just like my old friend.
