Yea - Take a shower when you're done - -You'll look like a red snowman when you're done sprayin that stuff!!! LOL!!!

Just take your time - and I would suggest using different spray patterns - horizonal, vertical... - just to make sure it doesn't molt on you -- Good Luck!! Bones!~

Should i walk the length of the truck while spraying. and should i use a slower drying clear or what i would normally use?

Definately walk the entire length to avoid buildup at overlaps.I wouldn't go real slow on the clear to avoid possible clear or flake sags.Reduce the clear with a reducer suitable for the temp to keep it wet as you walk around it,just like you would if the flake weren't there.

Keep the gun strait (at a 90 deg. angle to the surface) and keep your overlap even. You may want to try a test panel to make sure you get the overlap right.
