LAYING OUT CLEAR

something like that
first you gotta shoot the first coat of clear like normal
you gotta make sure the first coat has flashed perfect, you want it to be very sticky, but not leave any paint on your finger. i touch the clear with my finger, fuck it, when its perfect, you just shoot the following coats a little bit slower, and a little bit heavier. kinda like you said to the point where it wants to drip, but if its flashed right, it wont run....... usually. also i been turning up the pressure to about 30-35 psi with the trigger squeezed, thats been making a big difference for me.
if you dont have a buffer i would take it easy on the wet coats, especially while your still getting the hang of flowcoating

after the first coat i reduce 10%.
also its gets wetter for me if I make multiple light passes instead of one super wet.
hard ot explain but instead of one pass u would make while spraying base make three the exact way you spray base to make up each coat prior to flash. keep the same pressure and all for me 28-30psi with my needle three and a half rotations from closed and it wets them everytime. the thinner and finer the coats are sprayed the flatter and slicker the clear will lay.

i switched up my method from slow and heavy to this and it works for me im sure it will work for you too.
