Spaying Heavy Paint with a 3-Stage HVLP ?
Hey, folks.
I've been away from doing projects for a long, long time.
Doing a project this week which requires my using an HVLP system which I bought long ago, and never used.
The basic system is a Turbinaire Minipro Plus, with the original CX gun. I also have an Accuspray Series 10 gun, with the mini regulator & gauge.
I also have a huge assortment of tips & needles for the Accuspray gun.
----------------------------------------
MY PROBLEM / QUESTION:
This turbine is only 3-stage, rated for 130 CFM @ 6 PSI. Unfortunately the stuff I'm about to spray is Rustoleum Multispec, which is water-based but very thick. - And I have to spray several gallons of it. They recommend a 4-stage system, but that is out of the question.
I'll also be first spraying KILZ Original Interior, which is a thick oil-based primer.
Any tips for getting through this job with what I have? I'd rather not thin the paint as that could compromise the "multispec" look, but I will if I have to.
Maybe use an extra-large tip or needle?
- Thanks.
