Spraying Lacquer

[mdw3332]

Anybody spraying nitro with an HVLP / compressor combo? I have been and am pretty happy with it, but have one question: what pressure do you you use going into the gun? I've been using about 35 PSI. I've seen turbine systems that operate at 4 - 5 PSI. Does the gun reduce the pressure when using a compressor?

Also, how much thinner do you use with nitro?

Thanks,

35 PSI may be a bit too much. Check your owners manual, I have a DevilBiss Finishline 3 and I get best results with 20-25 PSI (Oddly enough, the recommended PSI in the manual is 23).
