Flow Coat? Yes or No

Do you have recommendations for a flow coat to finish out Mohawk nitro SIL on an acoustic?
I've read in various books* and on-line the virtues of a "flow" coat that's 1 part lacquer to 4 parts thinner after the "final coat" is finished. You guys that do a nitro flow coat, do you recommend it?
Do you have recommendations for a flow coat?
My technique is 95% run free, but I'm a lot apprehensive to shoot a 1:4 flow coat.
BTW,
This project, my second acoustic guitar, has its "final" coat of Mohawk SIL (Stringed Instrument Lacquer) yesterday.
As my spraying equipment (StewMac conversion jam gun and nailer compressor 3.2 CFM) is on the way side of budget, my finish is not really smooth. It's not bad I would like a smoother finish to wet sand, and it is, afterall, another skill to learn. Just wish I didn't have to learn it on MY guitar
I also posted this on OLF, hope that is not a Forum foul....
