Hey all
First off I will tell you all where I am with my painting as of now. I sprayed a coat of epoxy PPG Omni (which I won't use again, changing to SPI) and I got some fisheyes, sprayed a second coat of epoxy and it did cover some but still some visible. Sprayed some PPG Omni 2k which cover the fisheyes and after blocking everything looks smooth and straight. I purchased the StartingLine DeVilbiss with the two guns one with 1.4 fluid tip for base and clears, so the manual says, and the other gun with a 1.8 tip for primer . Now for my questions.
What do you guys think about the DeVilbiss will it spray the base and clear OK or should I get something different?
The only thing the owners guide that came with the gun says about air pressure is 30psi inlet provides 10psi at the air cap. So I figure that's a 3 to 1 ratio so 42psi gives me 14psi at the air cap which is what the Omni spec sheet calls for. Now I have read on this forum that some says the hose going to the gun should have 120psi is this correct if so my compressor 's range is 100 to 120 should I adjust the range so it never comes under 120psi?
Now back to the spraying since the fisheyes are no longer visible do you think it will be OK or is this something that will come back later and bite me in the butt? Is there any prevention that I can do now before base and clear that would help any problems down the road other than taking it back down to bare metal?
I also got a dry texture like spray on epoxy and 2k I know it is me and gun set up. Probably a combination of air pressure, gun controls and me.
I am painting in my shop/homemade paint booth. I have a cross draft with filters on the intake side and that seems to work fairly well because I am not seeing any trash as of yet, this could change tho with the base and clear I don't know. I think as of now it is mostly set ups on the air pressures
and gun controls so what would you guys recommend for this DeVilbiss?
