Mixed my Silver Fire 2.0 last night and started spraying (CS Plus). I had planned 1 Duster/2 Normal/1 Duster coats as I'd seen prescribed here by MM, but found my initial coats to be laying down rather thin. I've gradually adjusted the mix (a little more water) and my technique (slower and closer). However, I've actually lost count of the # of coats so really need to proceed based upon appearance of the paint/screen.
So...
Also, no doubt a result of my (poor) technique, I'm at a point where the top half of my screen seems to have pretty good coverage, whereas the lower part of my screen, not so much (kind of a gray speckled robin egg effect).
Therefore...
Do I address this in future coats by adjusting distance and/or pace when spraying the two areas? Seems intuitive that, going forward, I should get closer and slow down on the bottom half and do the opposite on the top. Does that make sense?
Except for the darn paint dust (which seems to be everywhere), I'm really excited about this project. Just want to make sure I make the right adjustments and finish it up right.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

- What should I be looking for to indicate "I'm there"?
- Any danger in laying down too much SF?
