It seems the greens are like that. For the thermal cure stuff I run a .8 tip and open it 1.5 turns out. I spray at 18 psi with 50 psi on the gun. Too little paint or too much air tends to produce dry spray and I think thats the issue with the greens.
Try to get that wet look as your spraying and it lays down pretty good.
I just sprayed Mil Spec OD about a week ago and it came out smooth and clean. I run with 35 PSI @ the gun, with a .8 tip, and paint about 4-6 inches away from the part. You want that wet but not runny look. Ill post some pictures here in a little while.

Im running a regulator at the gun, with it triggered PSI is 15. William are you running 50 PSI on a regulator at the gun?
Looks good deadly

50 psi leaving the compressor, 18 psi into the gun, regulator, gauge and dryer at the gun and compressor.
I had that problem when I was spraying black, I changed a couple things and now i feel like a semi-pro cerakote applicator
1) narrow the fan - too wide causes dry spray
2) dont be affraid to get the spray gun close(4 inches or so). I started too far away - dry sprayed like crazy. It takes a LOT to get this stuff to run.
3) Turn the pressure down. I ran the gun at 45 PSI - dry sprayed like a bitch. When I squeeze the trigger I'm running 35 PSI and it comes out real nice.
Pretty much after cerakoting 4 guns I got all the flaws worked out in my method and the results are impressive.
