I have a 35 gallon compressor and some HF spray guns. One of these days I need to try using them as I've never sprayed anything but with Rattle Cans.

You do really nice work IM and thanks for the info.
Fill that china fright gun with wadder and spray the outside wall of the garage. then progress to a large piece of cardboard observing various spray patterns and air adjustments so you get a feel for the gun's characteristics and how they are modified with the adjustments.
Do understand paint is a lot thicker than wadder so adjustments will be different using paint/primers.
But you will get a feel for the gun and how the adjustments affect spray patterns.
Then shoot some primer on things that are going to be sanded, getting more experience.
It is called a larnin' curve as we all know, and it causes you to get better spraying paint without a lot of runs or orange peel.
one day you will notice you can do a pretty good job without a lot of misstakes
Do watch video's of techniques on Yall' tube!!
