lol, you really did answer your own question. i've used some crappy guns before, but i haven't tried a walmart gun before. and if it's an hvlp gun 65 psi to the gun is way to much, it should prob be around the 30's as far as psi. But each gun is different, just read the manual, and make sure you mixed your material properly.
