Candy Red Metallic, base/clear coat, having problems laying it down

I've got a 60 gallon , 6 horse 220 compressor, using an economy hplv gun with 1.4 tip, decent pattern. I don't have a professional booth but have done others in my garage w/o garbage, etc after a proper de grease and tack off.  

I'm new at spraying a metallic and can't seem to get it even, runing about 35-40 PSI at the gun, using a medium reducer with outside temp between 70 to 80 degrees. I shot the underside of hood and trunk and cleared them first and they look awesome. All else has been going the other way. I think I may not be overlapping enough but my gun doesn't product a 4 foot fan like some I've seen but is decent. I've got inline driers and good volume. It's probably my lack of painting regularly since I build about a car every two years.

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.  

If you are talking about the metallic not come out even. than here goes spray the coats as even as you can to achieve good coverage then turn the air pressure up around 40-45PSI hold the gun back even further and give it a few dust coats this will lay the metallic out more even.

Thank you .  Before I try your suggestion, I have a run or two to repair (got more aggressive trying to get the paint to blend). Can I use 600 or 800 paper and sand the runs without disturbing the paint too much? I have 1000 grit but think it is too fine for this? Also, if I hold the gun out that far will I still be able to get a wet coat on even though it is thin?

Thank you.  

I would not use any thing coarser than 800 grit and a good sanding block.

Holding the gun back and dusting it with a few light coats at the end should even it out quite a bit.

Oh before sanding out the runs and respraying it be sure that the paint is good and dry or the paint might wrinkle and lift.

Thank you.  I'll be back on it this weekend and will let you know how it works out. I appreciate the help.  

Your Welcome.

I agree bringing the spray pressure up, to get the paint to even out, you may want to flash-off in-between applications.  Make sure you watch your spray pattern.  Downside is, you'll be using more paint doing it this way, but you'll be better assured of the results.

Another good technique for geting metallics to lay down nice is to move the gun faster to thin the paint out a bit but spray really good overlap (about two thirds).  This will give you your cover and good metallic.  This reduces tiger striping.  If you go over it when you're done like the other guys said it will help with other problems.  It's hard to tell what is going wrong without pictures.
