   I'm not 100% sure about your gun, but the maker probably has a chart that will indicate preferred tip sizes to go with specific materials at specific viscocities for specific spray processes. Have you contacted the maker to get some sort of guidance? Sliante, RJ.

   *Lacquer is usually the finest material that would be sprayed, and can use the smallest fluid tip. But it's more versatile to have a larger tip that can spray heavier materials as well, while being throttled down for lacquer. To take an extreme, I have a conventional gun with pressure pot that will spray latex with virtually no thinning, all the way down to lacquers and dyes by adjusting the pot feed pressure and the fluid needle; no change in the fluid tip.More important is the air cap, which determines how fine the mist can be and how large the fan can be (when that's desirable).
