Saw this on Instagram. Is this the way you pros spray? I go slower with fewer passes but I’m self taught.

I'm no pro by any means . . .
Man he had some material flowing!
No wonder he was moving so fast.

I like watching The Gunman, a YouTuber from Australia. He is legit. Goes nowhere near that fast.

Blows my mind when I see these guys with no gloves or eye protection.
Isocyanates shouldn't be taken that lightly, imho.

I didn’t notice the no gloves etc. Normally he uses a supplied air full face mask. Not sure what was the case here.

I've said this a dozen times before it's easier to spray fast than it is to spray slow. Much easier. And it also comes down to the gun you are using. You aren't going to see a guy painting slow with a traditional Sata RP. Someone using a Iwata will move slower. The Sata 5500 I nozzles behave more like an Iwata as well.
Before the advent of HVLP and reduced pressure guns, no one sprayed slow. I'm old enough to remember watching guys with Siphon feed guns and they moved quick with tight overlap.
 
Everybody sprays a little different, but there is no way you can get anything even without moving your feet. Notice how his gun is not a consistent distance from the surface, and the angle keeps changing. Personally, I have always walked the side. If you ever try to spray a candy job, and stand in one spot, or stop in the middle of a panel, it will be a mess. A car sprayed like that would vary a lot when checked with a mil gauge. I would rather see someone, especially starting out, concentrate on even coats. It prevents a lot of problems. Freddy gets away with it because of experience.
