RE: Painters ?????
"One thing I'm REALLY trying to avoid is the chalky look soooooo many military planes have"
I'm not sure about the more "modern" paints, but when I was doing a lot of painting, the only way you got any kind of "dull" was with a powdered additive. Therefore, if applied a little dry; chalky.
"and blow around from the air presure"
Again, from my experience that was usually the result of too much air, not enough paint, from trying to spray too thick a mix.k
