Default RE: Nelson's Hobby primer help!

For you guys that have sprayed Nelson paint, can you give me the numbers for:

How much did you reduce the paint? Did you use water and isopropyl alcohol, or just water?

What pressure were you running?


I just picked up a small gravity-fed spray gun at Lowe's, and my first attempt was not good. Thankfully I was able to wash it off! I got what I would describe as small "dots" or "fisheyes" on the surface. I am using a dessicant dryer in the air line, but maybe some oil from the new gun got in?

I mixed 1 oz of paint with 7 drops cross-linker, and reduced with 1/4 oz each of water and isopropyl. I understand each setup will be different, but it may help to hear how you got results. Thanks
