when you spray point move your hand from left right and don't stay in one spot for long

exactly.. do light coats. can't emphasize LIGHT enough. Also, don't do TOO many coats.. too much paint makes it more prone to peeling, cracking, etc.

I would also start the actual paint going, not on the side skirt, so that first blast hits the ground or air, then it's an even flow from one end to the other.
