PRESSURE SETTINGS FAN SPRAY ETC...

IM ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT GUN PRESSURE FAN SPRAY AND SO ON...CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE ON SETTING UP A GUN FOR SINGLE STAGE...IVE SPRAYED NUMEROUS ITEMS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH TROUBLE, THEN AGAIN I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE IN THE PAST, NOW IM ON MY OWN...I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT I AM INFACT SPRAYING THIS HEAP PROPERLY STARTING WITH THE GUN...THANKS GUYS

What size needle are you using first off. I usually had the fan about 1 to 1/2 a turn from fully open with paint flow about half way out and air pressure a higher than recommended at 50-60 psi. I was also sprayin up to 40' vehicles as well. But in that ball park should get you where you need to be.

IM SPRAYIN WITH A 1.4 TIP...IS THIS CORRECT?...OKAY WELL IVE BEEN SPRAYING AT ABOUT 25PSI SO MAYBE THIS COULD ALSO BE AN ISSUE...SHIT I DONT KNOW BUT AT THIS POINT ILL TRY ANYTHING....THANKS CRUCK

40 ft vehicles, sounds like my job spraying busses. 1.4 will work i seem to have better luck with a 1.3 getting the shit to flow. also i have recently been over reducing the paint (DCC) about 10% and it seems to help. pressure on my gti is usually around 30 or 35. the gun you are using and the tip will make a difference in what pressures you are using. when i used the 1.4 i turn it up a little. i would just set it up spraying onto a piece of paper taped to the wall and see what you need to adjust before you start spraying the truck.

oh yea, the fan on mine stays wide open unless i'm burning in spot repairs.
