ok here goes,
nozzle size,1.4mm(for 2pac primer) & a 1.8mm for 2pac paint
air pressure,30-40 psi is what i usaly use
& i use all dulux paint/thinners & additives it's exspensive but it's good quality & if the area that your painting is high flex like say a side skirt or rear bumper add a bit of flexi add
& the best advice i can give you is don't over do the coats as the paint still moves for 4-5mins after you have painted it on & use a gravity feed gun not a suction feed gun & good luck
wrong wrong wrong
firstly
use a 1.8 mm or 2 mm gun for 2 pac primer and acrylic paints
1.3/1.4/ for color and clear coat.
you should have 1 gun for each .
secondly,air pressure.
hvlp should be 27 psi
conventional guns like iwatta around 50 psi
gun distance
if the fan is 6 inches wide then gun should be 6 inches away from surface.
if a smaller 4 inch fan,then 4 inches from surface.
gun stroke
always overlap 50%.
always paint the edges first,then the whole panel.
i use debeers 2 k thinner.$50 for 4 litres
to tell what size gun you have unscrew the air cap and its written on the fluid tip
here's a useful link as well
