Hi , it’s got a 1.6 nozzle will this be ok for epoxy primer ?
Another alternative is Jotun Penguard HB or Penguard Primer. Like the Lechler it sprays better than Jotamastic 87, well does for me. Good quality epoxy primer at a lower price.

I plan to spray section by section eg boot , doors , sills etc . Most items will be removed and sprayed in a separate workshop . I’m using cellulose Triumph Valencia Blue .
Thanks for yourNice! I did a fully body off job on a convertible in 2K Damson. The boot lid is the only panel you should do off the car.
They're very hard to set up correctly re. panel gaps on the doors, flip front and front valence. They were never great from new, then chassis work, or even replacement, throws everything out. Once these are all aligned as best can be, never remove them again, then paint. Also, the sides won't look right if sprayed piece meal, even with the same batch of paint.
The door hinge captive plates have a thread that's really too small, too.
Good luck with it.
many thanks for that advice , I should have realised this myself as damaged a door when taking one off for repair . Thanks againNice! I did a fully body off job on a convertible in 2K Damson. The boot lid is the only panel you should do off the car.

Hi my first post , I own a Triumph Vitesse saloon 1969 , I’ve owned her 4 years now and completed most of the mechanics and now time to address the paintwork . She was restored in 2012 including a poor cellulose respray , looks acceptable from a distance but close up shows poor filler work . Blistering has started in some areas . The stage I’m at is practicing on a spare boot lid and the results are not printable yet , plenty of practice in removing runs . I’m looking for recommendations for a better quality spray gun . My current one was included in an SGS compressor deal so looking to buy a better HVLP gun. The compressor is a 100litre 3hp . I plan to spray section by section eg boot , doors , sills etc . Most items will be removed and sprayed in a separate workshop . I’m using cellulose Triumph Valencia Blue . Can I get away with purchasing just one spray gun ?
Any suggestions as to which gun I should buy would be appreciated .

S701g is a good gun, I've got one and used it to get some very decent results - although I wouldn't class it in the same league as a Devilbiss, fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired on mine for a start, bit of fettling saw it right though.

That's pretty much the definition of a spray gunFrom what iv seen first hand is how well they (spray guns) spray fine particles of paint before it hits the surface that separates the quality of these brands.
Seeing as though you have this gun i will throw you a slight problem. Iv added a water trap at the gun and its slightly giving me orange peel. I get 40 psi at the trigger with water trap on and can not get more than this (but way more psi with the trap off). Sealey recommend 43 psi for this gun. do you reckon the minus 3 psi is causing the orange peel or a dodgy water trap? The two times iv used it with paint in the gun iv had the water trap on.
Also how do you have this gun set for base coat? Fan wide open etc?
