I understand what your getting at. I did play around with the settings, but never could find that sweet spot

Operator error has certainly 'not' been ruled out of the equation. However, I can't admit I'm wrong now can I?:)

Yes, I do turn the gun upside down and give the trigger a full pull till paint begins to spray out.

Quite frankly, I never really liked the way this gun has sprayed. It is a Devilbiss Finishline 3 I purchased new for the sole purpose of spraying primer with it. I've searched around at the higher end models and researched how well they work over models such as mine. I haven't been able to come up with anyone saying the higher end guns are the go-to gun over cheaper models when spraying primers.

I'll give this gun and cup setup one more go the next time I'm ready to spray some primer. I'll throw the aluminum cup back on as well to see if it works any better. I am open to suggestions for a new gun for spraying primer though:)

I use this 1.8 tips

and this primer nozzle

on a 670s devilbiss and it spray perfectly.
Check what size you use.
Also, check the packing in your gun and check if the nozzle had a blocked hole

Thanks for the pics!

The tech sheet for the particular primer I'm having trouble with, says to use a 1.5-1.8. I first started with a 1.5 and quickly changed over to a 1.8 tip. My nozzle is different than the one your showing. Do you have a part # for that particular nozzle?

I haven't had any time to touch my car, but I did pick this up today.

I was on a sales trip last week for a company I am now part owners in and was in Moorseville, NC. I stopped by DSE and got a tour of their operations.

Sweet Machine. I have the same at work.
That one looks practically brand new, is it?

I have the Miller 210 and it's been a great machine... I like "simple" and the 210 is super simple... But it's now discontinued.

That 252 will be great for what you're doing.

Thanks guys:)

It's a brand new machine. They never had time to unbox it and put it out in the showroom before I purchased it.

This machine, unfortunately, was not necessarily purchased for my resto. I bought into a small manufacturing company that is trying to get off the ground. The founder of the company has spent the past few years R&D'ing our product. and is now ready for the mainstream market. I went through his tools and basically threw it all out and told him it looks like we are basically starting from scratch.

We needed a machine to handle repetitive production and not miss a beat and this model fit the bill. They are super simple to setup and use.

Well congrats on the new venture, and best of luck to you both.

Thanks for your blessing Robert. I feel it will be an extremely viable and lucrative venture.

Sounds exciting! Nothing like a new venture to excite and scare ya at the same time. :D You can't say you don't feel alive I bet. :thumbsup:
