use a lot of fluoresent tubelight try to see the reflection in the part you spray
it starts like an orangepeel when you move too fast or use to little paint keep moving the gun slower or add more paint to the gun till you see in the reflection that the orange peel slowly flows out and the surface starts to gloss thats the speed you need to keep all over with that setting of youre gun or else it goes dripping or whont flow out
try to get long even strokes and keep the distance between gun and surface the same all across , every lengthwize interuption will be visible as a change in gloss do the whole panel before the paint starts to set dont paint the left of the roof and do the quarterpanel before moving to the other side it will show as a dull line .
why people take out the doors and the hood ?
because then when they paint the whole car so they dont have to run back and forth
i used to paint semi trucktrailers there no doors on the side of that , my trackrecord back and forth 18 meter of trailer while climbing up and down a rolling scaffold still stands at that company i think
