Jim Becker, (or anyone else!)
Perhaps you can shed some light for me. I choosed to post vice a PM.

I have been shooting latex (Brog brand) after thinning with water. This paint called for 2000PSI and .015.

I just purchased a gallon of SW latex, and they said to thin with Flotrol, and not water. This is also a thicker paint (2000PSI .017).

Will this paint (w/flotrol) shoot with my stock tip, or should I purchase the #4 projection set?

UPDATE!
Gleem Paint highly reccomended the #4 projection set, and also said to thin with clean water. (Which is what I thought)

Next week I spray red on this stand!

Yes, #4 projector set...Nathan is the expert on this gun! BTW, consider shooting 100% acrylic products in the future instead of latex, especially for furniture.

Ok, will do.

Who makes 100% acrylic paints? SW?
Thanks

SW ProClassic (no dark colors as I recently found out)
BM Impervo (can go dark...make sure that the can is the new 100% acrylic formula...there is still old stock on some shelves)
Fuhr International 380
etc.

The only reason I can spout this back is that I recently was looking for my own project...
