When doing the mesh fade I tend to fade a line first and make sure it's FULLY cured and cool before I continue, then apply the mesh mask and at am angle sp the direction of spray is away from the masked line I turn the psi down to about 20 psi and ever so faintly build a gradual fade from the first fade line I cured before. Less is more with this effect so be careful not to overdo it. Also use a day light lamp or an led lit spray booth as I do and you can see everything so much clearer than in normal electric light and it becomes clearer how much you're laying down. When using liquid mask removing the mesh mask can be problematic if you're not careful. Always pull it in the direction away from any points or it will pull the liquid mask up.
