I use blending solvent to keep the edge wet. I use two guns.

Thanks for the reply, but I really don't understand what you are referring too. What does the "blending solvent" do

Detailed instructions are on the can. You wet the edge of each coat of the blend. You can do the same with a little of the color over reduced but the blending solvent works better.

You can also use a slow reducer for blending. That's how they did it back in the day!
When you've brought your color out into the middle of a panel for blending, dump the paint out of your gun and poor strait slow reducer into the gun, then go over the "blended" area with 1 or 2 LIGHT coats of pure reducer. The reducer will help the paint "melt" or "blend" in. Wait a day and hit the blend area with a buffer and some compound.
Should come out oh soo nice and purrty!
