It's not so much the pressure, but the volume of air...

Adjust your pressure to give you the rate of deposit you're comfortable with, but what I do recommend is putting the tin in hot water beforehand to loosen it up, flows a lot better then.

Well, set the pressure to 50 bar and held about 12" away and this is what I got

It still seemed a little thin inplaces next to thick sections, but I am sure I went over as many times !!

All in all quite pleased for a first go, thanks for the help,

50 bar Graham???? you mean 50psi.

Anyway give it at least 2 decent coats maybe three underneath. Pay plenty of attention to all of the nooks and crannies
