Hi...I note that zolatone recommends a 2.0 to 2.4mm nozzle in a  

pressure-feed type gun for spraying their multicolor material.



I'm finding that, short of spending way more for a gun than I'd like  

to, the guns in my price range have 1.4mm to 1.8mm nozzles.



Has anyone tried to enlarge the nozzle size of a spray gun  

successfully?...unsuccessfully?...in order to apply the zolatone  

multicolor material?



My application is for cockpit interior which will not be covered w/  

fabric...I'm attracted to the multi-color-stuff as it seems to offer a  

good way to mask the CM seams and other irregularities...I've looked  

for but have not found any comparable spray can product at Home Depot  

or hardware stores.



Recommendations from experience are most welcome.



Thanks,



Fred

fine.

Fred,



I bought a Harbor Freight gun and drilled it out. Worked fine.

If your primer matches the base color of the zolatone, you won't have to 

spray as much. The zolatone is heavy if  you spray it thick.

	Excellent...BTW, how's the gun work on conventional paint after the  

nozzle has been enlarged?

I've only used it with zolatone. I bought  HVLP with a fresh air mask to 

paint the plane. I'm gonna sell it.

I used a standard 1.8mm nozzle, worked OK, but Zolatone does not hide  

imperfections that well.

The decorator stone spray paint does a better job of covering seams etc.

Hi All,

 You still have to use some filler (Superfil) on the seams. I followed with a gray spray can primer from Home Depot. After a couple days applied the Zolatone I bought at ACS with a Wagner Airless sprayer, with the tip you would use to apply heavy latex house paint. After a long cure, I put some clear lacquer over that to help seal it. Your results may vary.
