[quote=”Jayson M” post=20116]That is partly true,but depending on how long your hose is in the booth you can have a pressure drop of 20psi or more from the wall reg to the end of the airline,also you will not have the volume of air at that low of a pressure.
If your gun is atomizing properly and you have good spraying technique you will have very little flow out,Why?Your paint will be put on smooth.On the flip side if you put on thick wet coats at a lower pressure depending on flow out you can have runs,solvent pop,dieback,etc.That is why you want to control the paint,you don’t want the paint to control you(runs etc) make sense??[/quote]

From what I see on the guage I dont see too much of a pressure drop..
I think I understand what you are talking about relating to “flow out”, I dont know personally I like to put the
material on pretty heavy, probably because the first gun I used was a Devilbiss GFG- and I loved how that thing would put the clear on nice and heavy.
