Hi there. I'm completely new to both HVLP and catalyzed paints and am looking for some advice on spraying SPI epoxy primer, please. Looking for a cheap entry-level gun to play around with and see the "Vaper" range sold by Northern Tool comes recommended. They have 1.4, 1.8 & 2.3 tips. Which would you suggest for spraying unreduced epoxy? The 1.4 would tend to agree with the tech docs, but I see some people recommending the 2.3 if you want to lay down a heavy coat that can be blocked. I like the idea of using epoxy as the only primer coat and blocking with that.
If I was to go with the 2.3, what settings would you suggest on the gun?
If you're going to block the epoxy, is there a general protocol on how long to wait before blocking? e.g. how many coats would you lay down with a 2.3 tip?
One of the reasons I'd like to just use SPI epoxy is because I understand that it is relatively safer in a home setting compared to the 2K urethane primers. Regardless, most parts will be sprayed outdoors.
Many thanks!
