Hello everyone.
Sprayed 2K on a couple body panels yesterday. Used FinishLine 3 primer gun and 1.7 tip. Reduced about 5% and added about an ounce of polar accelerator to 16 ounces of mixed primer. Was about 60 degrees (or less).
This stuff sprays thick. At 24 psi (gun recommends 23 psi for this gun) and 1.7 tip and fan wide open, my spray pattern was only about 4-5 inches tall. It is normally about 8-9 inches tall.
I increased the pressure a couple psi, but that didn't help much (and creates a lot of overspray).
I also had quite a bit of dry spray in some areas too.
Should I be using the 2.2 tip for this use? Or reduce much more? I like this product. Easy to sand. Easy to spray. Fills great. I just need to get it dialed in better with my equipment.
Advice? Thanks guys.
