Does semi gloss paint spray well on walls. I have a top of the line Graco sprayer but have never sprayed semi?

It will spray very well indeed, however not many people like semi gloss on the walls for the fact that it shows every little flaw in the walls. I have always strained my paint however no matter how good of quality the paint...This is just common sense...semi gloss is what is called a ';dry hide'; paint..in other words when you spray semi glosses as you move on down the wall as the semi gloss begins to dry within a few minutes it will look like it is streaking out and have grey splotchy looking areas..do not think it is not covering and go back and spray them grey splotches again..let it dry before you do this or you will get ';sags'; (runs) all over the place..This has fooled many a painter..let it ';dry in'; first..tghis is just an optical illusion..Does semi gloss paint spray well on walls. I have a top of the line Graco sprayer but have never sprayed semi?
Strain paint %26amp; use no more than 1/2 gallon water to 5 gallons..use no larger than a 413 tip..I prefer a 411 for finer finish
