That leaves the needle, an actual gun problem, and/or my technique as possible problem causes. If latex is supposed to be that thick going through the gun (as opposed to the forum posts that say ideal is 45 seconds), then it means my problem isn't the thinning. I found the results to be the same in terms of "grit" regardless of flow rate, and landed on 3 turns out because I felt it was the best balance between distance from surface, pattern size, speed I could move the gun, etc.Ĭonfused about 10% thinning, as it seems to me that 10% puts the paint right at the top of the viscosity rating for the 5500 (which is 160 seconds). When I started spraying, I followed the Earlex directions to squeeze the trigger and then unscrew the knob to establish proper flow. Based on what I'd heard about HVLP sprayers, I was expecting the 80/120 grit look, and posted this because I thought it didn't look right.
