I'm using AFS waterbase products and had good luck with the priming
process with my old cheapie suction gun. Now it's time for the color coats
and I bought a Devilbiss gravity HVLP gun. Both the instructions with the gun and Dan at AFS recommended 20 psi at the gun with the trigger pulled. OK fine, except to achieve this it takes a line pressure of 80 psi. At these pressures I'm blowing parts off the table and putting a lot of overspray in the air. Maybe I'm just used to rattle cans and my suction gun which works great
with a line pressure of 40 psi. Is this the way these conversion guns work?
It feels more like sandblasting than painting. My question is this, does 80 psi
with the trigger NOT pulled sound right?
