Sorry for the long post, still trying to learn.
Reading threads about spraying UC vs Euro as well as trying to figure out proper pressures for base coats. The UC threads talk about spraying at about 28psi at the gun & 150 on the wall. I just figured out how to increase my pressure switch on the Eaton compressor, its a single stage 80 gal w/a max 175 PSi rating so I cranked it to 150ish...
Just bought a new Devilbiss touchup gun that I shot UC with last night on the engine bay repairs at 16 psi, seemed to work fine, sprayed the Pro-spray base @ 10, that went on fine too - the gun itself says "30 PSI max inlet", my LPH 400 says 10 PSI on the cap...
All the pressure differences get a little confusing & obviously the viscosity differences require or work better with different pressures, clear, base , primer, etc.. but for a novice its a bit daunting to remember. Wondering if are there rules of thumb to simplify this that I can apply to each product & adjust from there?
