Not sure but I think he said somewhere that he used the 1.2mm version.All of this shot with the Astro Mini w/ 1.0 tip?
1.2MM.
I had $400 in primer, base, and clear. Pint of base, quarts of primer and clear, and appropriate reducer and hardeners.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. If I do something like this again, my confidence will be at an entirely different level due to mistakes, learning from them, etc.

I've been looking for a gun for small jobs, been debating on the 1.0 or 1.2. It might be best to just get both, but it sounds like the 1.2 can do it all.
Glad your project turned out good. This has been a good, informative thread.

You were wearing me out man but I'm delighted that it came out as well as it did. Of the 100 people I try to help maybe 10% actually listen to what I tell them to do as you did. I always wonder way people ask other people for advice and yet they never take it. The absolute worse are those that want to sandblast with a 2HP compressor. Yes, you can sandblast with that but only for about 20 seconds. Apparently most people, in the immortal words of Jack Nicholson, "CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH."1.2MM.

Do you happen to have a thread with tips/tricks/details on paint and prep etc? If not I'm sure a lot of guys would like to see it, I know I would.You were wearing me out man but I'm delighted that it came out as well as it did.

What's the ideal size compressor for a spray gun?
Single stage 60 I would say, when spraying bigger things like my truck frame or trailer it definitely gives my single stage 60 a workout. Mines just the Ingersoll rand from tscWhat's the ideal size compressor for a spray gun?
