Paint gun

[ChevyC1500]

I have a Paint gun DeVilbiss HVLP, and when I spray urathane clear coat it has orange peel in it. I been using the 1.5 tip. Can I get some help?

Try a smaller tip (i.e. 1.3).

Will that help?

yes tip is way too large most modern clears use 1.2-1.3 check your tech sheet for the paint youre using...also what pressure are you spraying at?

[ChevyC1500]

We sprayed at 20 psi. On the sheet for the gun it says 23 psi, but I think that's too much psi. We usually use trans star clear. We don't reduce it down or anything just put the catalyst and spray it.

A difference if 3PSI probably won't make a huge impact. It will atomize it better, but you'll also get more airborne overspray. I would try to adding 10% reducer to see what happens. That will thin it out and should make it flow and level a bit better.

Alright thanks!
