I sprayed latex with the same gun, just like any paint that going to be sprayed through a hvlp you need to thin it down and upgrade your reservoir to the spectrum paint canister system, I did a 20% mix regular water works fine.
You do it VERY different than most people I feel. I I understand that that gun has a built-in filter but you should always have a secondary filter to filter out any contaminations as you pointed into your top painter. Also I highly recommend that you water down your paint as recommended on the can. Very good video but a few things you should absolutely work on. Thank you
I just used a purple gun to spray slightly thinned Rustoleum latex and it was fine. No drill needed. I don't know why all thesd forjms ssy it can't be done, which I clearly did. When dry it is totally solid. Will not scrape away....did not effect durability. Also intuition tells me that simple drilling the fluid tip and not making compensation to the air cap is probably like opening up the flow valve all the way and keeping the air pressure at minimum. Again I thinned with water about 25% and sprayed with a 1.4. Sprsyed like anything else I have ever sprayed making normal pattern and flow valve adjustments using 30 to 35 psi dynamic at the tip. Higher static. Who cares how high the static is. Pull the trigger and look. Turn left or right. Done.
I watched your video and I found it interesting. I am using the same gun. Using Sherwin-Williams Emerald paint, they only recommend 10-20% reduced with distilled water. I use a 30% reduced rate and the handles it perfectly no modification to the gun. I use a paint measure cup to get my reduction rate.
Yes you can order nozzles & needles for that gun. It took a bit of research, but it was a common gun years ago. Yes I ruined a nozzle by trying to drill it out. You must REALLY clean that gun out and re-lubricate it as most of the tips will rust rather quickly if you spray a water based finish.
2k Basecoat or Enamel Gloss Oil Based my Psi is 25 depending on the Compressor if using Clear Coat Psi 30 just need to paly around myself have it down put now.
Where to begin......old somewhat dried up paint with rust in it after opening - place a paint can lid on your paint can from day one so that the rim stays clean and doesn't rust - didn't use a disposable filter to put paint in mixing cup, once filtered dilute before adding to sprayer. wow
@@TheGarageEngineer EVERYONE knows about drilling out the port for thicker paint. I wasted 16 minute watching someone paint poorly. Try again after you figure this out.
Holy moly what a waste of time! Nothing is more frustrating than trying to be taught by a guy that doesn't even know what he's doing himself..... Disgusting!
Dude your killing me...All of that for what? Why didn't you just go back? And thin the paint one more time. And why are you spraying on a piece of cardboard? Should have been a piece of wood or drywall. Or something in a real world application where you can actually see the real results. Cardboard it's good to start testing. But you should have actually painted something. I agree with the guy below.
Dude sounds like Chris from Family Guy. Please don't call yourself an "engineer" if you aren't one. It's very misleading. "Engineer" actually means something.
He is 'The Garage Engineer' and he has a pair of calipers, Travis. As of me posting this comment, he has MORE content uploaded to UA-cam and more subscribers than you, Travis. TRAVIS.
if you aint modifying your tools, you aint living ! well done : )
Good words to live by. Thanks for watching!
Windshield washer fluid for thining latex is slows drying and keeps the tip from clogging and lays the paint down nice
Nice tip. I’ll try that next time.
This is good for me my brother
Thanks for watching!

Great input. Thanks for sharing.
Amazon is full of cheap help guns that come with a 2.0 nozzle and pin. I would never suggest drilling a nozzel.
The tool you are using to clean the tip. Is used for cleaning welding tips.
Thanks for the tip!

@@mechanix55 good info to know. I will give it a try. Thanks for watching.

good points. thanks for watching.
Where do you get tbe tips?????
Which part was 30 seconds?
2k Basecoat or Enamel Gloss Oil Based my Psi is 25 depending on the Compressor if using Clear Coat Psi 30 just need to paly around myself have it down put now.
2k is the best but I don’t have enough projects to justify the upgrade from latex yet. Thanks for watching and thanks for your tips.
All depends on the Thinning and work from there i have done many doors Latex and it comes out find Glossy as.
Good to know. I hate thinning too much but I think I need to go thinner on some of my paints. Thanks for watching.
I would try reducing the fan size.
Good idea.
So that is water based paint as if using Oil Gloss enamel would need Turps.
It was latex
Thin it more and get closer to the cardboard
Good tips.

I waited 16 painful minutes for poor results. I can never get that back.

@@DCMARTIN agree!
Was helpful for me thanks
The whole problem is you need to thin it down with water and you're done !!! spray like a mockingbird
Good idea. I will try it on the next project.
Always thin your paint down for a spray gun also you never filtered youf paint ftom the start, very silly
Yes. More thinner. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

Never saw anyone drill a hole to exact measurement like that in my life. Wiggle wobble by hand ???? waste my time.

Why does ot take 16 1/2 minutes to explain what you say is a 30 second "fix" which isn't really a fix, but a modification
Life is a journey. Not a speed race. Thanks for watching!
I’d delete this video if I was you, what an absolute waste of time this video is.
