paint questions (always been wondering)

ok, so i got the lacquer on the cab and am working on getting the sanding done. i have a few questions though

1) is it ok to rinse dry sanding residue off lacquer primer with a hose without it rusting as long as i dry all the puddles in the cab right away?

2) can i wet sand lacquer primer without risking rust under the primer?

3) some people have said that base/clearcoat systems dont work well with lacquer primer under them. Is this true? I have been planning on using a base/clearcoat system and i already am pretty far along with the laquer primer, so i dont really want to have to strip the cab again and start with a different primer.

4) is it worth the time to put a coat or two of sealer over the lacquer when i get done with all the fine sanding?

5) i have had problems with my gravity feed hvlp gun spraying very dry. what psi range should i probably be in, i have been using up to 40 psi which i think is probably the problem. also, maybe i should thin it more? i havent been using the 50/50 ratio of paint to thinner they say to use on the can, but maybe i should?

i cant think of any other questions for now, but im sure there will be more soon lol as i remember them

thanks for taking the time to read all this long post. any ideas or advice are welcome. thanks again
