Online I've heard the mantra "spray many light coats" a thousand times, but never any description of how heavy or thick is ideal. I assumed that if the (flat) paint is thick enough to show reflections, it's probably pooling and you've gone too far.
I tried Tamiya can primer last summer, but it sputtered tiny droplets along the edge of the spray as if I was spraying straight unthinned paint. I got frustrated and gave up after spraying at different distances, since that was the only variable I knew how to alter.
Spraying a thick coat mostly covered up the droplets but I was worried that would affect surface detail, in hindsight maybe you're supposed to spray the coat thick enough that the primer levels itself out?
