Gravity feed hvlp?? - goaliedad - 10-26-2017 For spraying latex paint? Rockler’s $75 version comes with a 1.4 tip I have a cheap gun that has worked in the past, but I had to thin the paint. What size tip should I be looking for? I have a bed headboard and footboard to paint and want a nice finish RE: Gravity feed hvlp?? - jteneyck - 10-26-2017 (10-26-2017, 12:38 PM)goaliedad Wrote: For spraying latex paint? Rockler’s $75 version comes with a 1.4 tip A gravity feed HVLP conversion gun with a 1.4 mm N/N is limited to a viscosity of about 45 seconds through a Ford #4 cup. Anything higher than that needs to be thinned to get it down at least that low. With a 1.8 mm N/N you can go up to around 65 seconds, and maybe close to 100 seconds with a 2.0 or 2.2 mm. FYI, GF's Enduro White Poly is about 100 seconds, SW's ProClassic and BM's Advance are both around 500 seconds. I wouldn't try spraying either of those with a gravity feed gun. John |
