Too far north. Too far east.
What number nozzle should I be using on the spray gun for the Ace paint? I have a 1.3, a 1.5, and a 1.8 as choices.

1.5 depending on viscosity of the paint, if quite thick you may have to use the 1.8, but thats what I use for primer etch and high build.
 
Thanks.

For the last few weeks I've been using the 1.3 and didn't know it. This is a borrowed gun and I didn't check before I started spraying. I changed over to the 1.5 today and things were significantly better. Before, the paint was going down too slow and I was getting a very sandy-looking finish. Laying down the paint a bit faster seems to have helped.
