Default Painting Question, PSI

When using a gravity-feed paint gun, what PSI should we shoot clear coat at?

Thank you!
Jerry

i used to shoot below 50 in that area but after unsuccessful attempts and asking the forum the consensus was to pump it up to around 60 or maybe even higher as according to lars and a few other gurus out there. everytime id shoot with like 30 or so it would just come out crappy so dont be afraid to turn up the psi a bit

Hmmm... even with an HVLP gravity feed? Well, maybe we'll do that!
