paint gun question?
paint gun question? I'm using a typical spray (that is not HVLP)gun to paint some iron fences and need help adjusting the spray.
I believe the top **** is for air pressure and the lower **** is for volume.
When I first bought it it painted fine. I've changed colors and cleaned it and know can't get it to spray the way it did at first.
I want to have it spray a nice wet looking coat.
Currently it is spraying too lightly no matter how I adjust the *****. Is this signs of a dirty gun?
thanks

I cleaned the gun again and added a pressure regulator at the gun.
The cleaning helped, but the regulator wasn't able to adjust the pressure below 80 #'s ???
The cleaning may have helped but a little but it still appears to be "sandy" . I wonder if the regulater is the correct one. I bought this one at home depot, a huskey brand, that is supposed to adjust the air pressure from 0-max in a 1/4 turn. I can't adjust the pressure below 80psi. ???
The paint I'm using is oil based Rustoleum primer and paints. I havn't had a problem before.
