Default Tips on spraying Dark metallic

Hey guys,
Im going to be spraying a truck pretty soon in a dark blue metallic (bc/cc)and was wondering what tips you could give me for spraying a dark colord metallic. I have been painting for a couple of years (on the side for friends) and have done some lighter metallic paint jobs that turned out good, but iam a little nervous about spraying such a dark colored metallic over a light grey primer.I did a hood with a similair color and it came out sort of light and you could see some of the spray lines. Ive heard you should shoot in a different directions to keep the metallic even and not cause lines, and also to lay down a final "mist coat" to even out the metallic, is that right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Brian
