No real tricks, its like painting anything else. Make sure you have a way to handle it as it gets more coverage.

I do quite a bit of armacoating for other people, don't advertise my services yet. Try to hang everything your going to spray at about chest height so you can see all the little nooks and crannies and don't miss any spots. If you want a flat color spray from about 12 inches away, if you want a more glossy finish spray closer. Make sure you wear a mask it's nasty stuff. Make sure you wear latex gloves and wipe everything really well with lacquer thinner oil from your skin can give you crappy spots in your finish
