Mitch, it was a trial & error process for me (I use a Sata X 5500 RP gun), I spray a slightly heavier second coat (slower pass, full paint volume) at higher pressure (27 vs 25 psi) which brings the gloss up the range to closer to 50%.

Many thanks to all who responded. The UNO HD looks like it might be the ticket. I’m sending your posts via screenshot to the painter, Lloyd, much appreciated.
