Latex Paint and Accuspray #10 Gun What is the best set up?

I am using a 2.0 nozzel and cap to spray latex that is thinned about 25 -

Jeff,

I bought my 2.0 nozzel, cap, and needle on Ebay, new for $30.00 they seem to be universal. The 2.0 was suggested for latex.

What air cap do you use and what does a 2.0 nozzle equal in decimal? thanks for your answer

I have a #10 gun also. I use the .061 tip for latex. works like a charm. thin the paint with no more than 20%, including Floetrol. sprays like a champ! Use whatever cap you need for desired fan width. you shouldn't have any trouble using a .061--just strain the paint, add the Floetrol and water, and get on with it.

I left out "water" after "20%".

Thanks for the answers. For some reason the larger the noozle the larger the paint droplets. This in turn does not lay down a fine coat. I will try a .061. thanks

If you want more information, I suggest you give Compliant Spray Systems in San Clemente, CA, a call. 1-800-696-0615 . Jeff is the owner and his wife (IIRC her name is Phyliss, but don't quote me) both can help with tip choices. My hunch is they will suggest the .061. :) I would presume that a .051 might work. Don't add any more water than necessary, and don't forget the Floetrol for good flow-out.
