Ocassionally the circuit breaker shuts it off but luckily it hasn't shut off while I've been spraying. **Knock on wood**. I spray between 8-10 inches from the surface. It depends on how your spray gun is adjusted and your personal preference. I would definately recommend practicing on that hood you have.
important tip for him: "make sure to spray past edges"
start 10" before and stop 10" after an area, otherwise the paint will build up funny, or worse, run.
