I believe you can cut down on some of that overspray by adjusting the material knob. It's a little frustrating, because you need to have a test panel setup and experiment with the adjustment to get the best results and in doing so, you waste valuable $$$ material.

I sorta cheated a little bit recently when I was restoring a set of '55 front seat frame/springs. Since it's not something that you will ever see because it all gets covered up with upholstery, I adjusted while I was spraying the frames/springs. I did get the results I liked, but that doesn't mean that my final setting is good for the next time, because the paint will probably be different then and require a little re-adjustment.
