Warren, 30 psi sounds about right. If you were using less than 50/50, drop it down to at least that level. Depending on temperature I might go as low as 30/70. Play with a bit on some scrap wood. I believe that the reduction they suggest is for brushing, not spraying. The higher the ratio of thinner to lacquer, the smoother it will go on. Doesn't put a lot of lacquer on but it can be built up with multiple coats. Again, try to spray on with the surface flat. More care is required on spraying on vertical surfaces. I hate runs.
