Are you using a Campbell Hausfeld pressure feed gun? They have the
50psi warning on the top of the gun cup.
Did you screw the bleeder screw set on the cup so it is pressuring the cup?
When all else fails - if the gun is flaking out - I dump out the paint
and put in plain paint thinner. If the gun can spray that then at least
you know the passages are clear. It should have a correct pattern also.
If it can't - then it certainly won't be able to spray the more viscous
paint.
If you are using a siphon only gun, then the paint needs to be quite
thin. Automotive paint is not viscous at all, it pours very easily.
About the consistency of coffee cream.
That Harbor Freight two quart unit is a pressure feed setup. The paint
is fed under pressure to the gun - so it can spray heavier coatings.
