Latex Spray Gun

Hello, I'm about to do some painting. The material is the security screen, which is sheet metal with small holes. It will be sandblasted clean. The painting that I will use is Behr Ultra Premium, which is a primer and the same can and will be latex, mixed use for the color. I have 60 gallons a compressor and a spray gun Harbor Freight. It is a weapon HPLV, and a cup 2 quart. I tried to specifications on it, but it is no longer in HF. It operates at 40 psi at the Cup of the paint and 10 PSI air to the Cup. I understand that the paint can be diluted to less than 5%. I wanted to know if I can run the latex in the gun, will it hurt the gun, and / or paint is crappy when it is applied? Thank you!

Something does not match. All I know HVLP systems do not use a compressor, a turbine at all. I sprayed with a latex enamel spray HVLP, but I did not use a compressor. It does not hurt any gun, but cleaning is a chore. Have lots of denatured alcohol around. Start cleaning with water and then use alcohol for fine tailings.

The 40/10 psi seems that you mention you use a conventional gun siphon feed. They do not do well with latex paints. The main thing to watch is the cap of liquid and the needle, they determine the viscosity of finishing work with the gun. Without the manual for firearms, perhaps he should for a good paint store and see what they say.

By far the best system for spraying latex paint is an airless system. It might be worthwhile to rent one. The hours saved could pay the rent. Hope this helps.

I may also conffused. U said u where the metal spray? is that the paint designed for metal. most paints used for this is that u use enamel thinner and thinner to clean. Most latex paints are water purification and water and metal do not mix unless u have a good introduction to this subject. i may be wrong ANDNOT aware of this type. Excuse me if I am.
