Pastulio132 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey everyone. I am just starting my first guitar and could use a little advice in the finishing department. I plan on getting this Compressor and this Spray Gun. I just wanted to make sure that this setup is okay. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acousticraft Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Looks like the air consumption of the gun matches the compressor nicely. What size needle has it got? For lacquer you need around 1.8mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastulio132 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I believe it comes with a 1.4mm tip. I plan on spraying Behlen's nitro with it. Is a larger tip necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz tradie Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I believe it comes with a 1.4mm tip. I plan on spraying Behlen's nitro with it. Is a larger tip necessary? I've used a 1.4mm on several builds and had no dramas, although a larger tip will give you more flow and a quicker build up . It's all personal tastes , but I am changing to a 1.8 or 2.0mm for higher build up. cheers, Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 1.4mm should be fine for clear coat. DeVilbiss recomends the 1.8mm for primer so you get a quick heavy build to level off a surface or thicker fluids. They recomend 1.4mm for general color coats and clear coats.
