Hey dennis I've been beat up for using that inferiour part. As a good Canadian I should be using a good Canadian OEM hood support such as this one.

I use my Sata with a 1.4 tip for both primer and topcoat.. If you thin the primer sufficiently, there is no problem blowing the solids out..( I use Dupont urethane 2 part high build primer) you can lay on a really nice flat coat..so you end up sanding less paint off!! $$$ saved...
I sometimes think I could just polish it right out of the gun, and it would look like a top coat in the primer grey MGB color...
I think that keeping spray equipment clean is one of the keys to success with this work and not getting frustrated.... every time I use the gun, I break it down and clean everything to as new with laquer thinner, reassemble and put away. It is tedious!!
By the way I used 1 gallon of urethane to completely paint inside and out ..my 65 B.. and I still have some left. Thats how effective a HVLP gun is.

Thats a pretty blue Marty.
I think having a cheap second gun ofr primer isn't a bad idea as well. Most of this poly primer almost goes on as dry spray anyway. The poly two par primer is one of the best thing to come down the pipeit's so thick it acts a filler for light imperfections and prep sanding. Just get a good coat of primer on the car, most of it will end up in the floor anyway from wet sanding.
