I purchased some Dunn Edwards Permasheen today to spray some shelves I'm building.
I told the guy at DE what I planned to do (spray with an HVLP conversion) and he said "Permasheen".
The label on the back does say that spraying is one of the methods of application but it also says to limit thinning to 8 ozs per gallon.
I gave it a quick viscosity test and it ran through my Ford #4 cup like honey (a few minutes and it still wasn't empty) so I believe thinning will be required.
I've purchased Charron's book and have read it, especially about prepping the coating.
One of the problems with "over thinning" is that the finish may take more coats to build and it may lighten the finish.
Since I'm planning on painting white acrylic and I'm not worried about having to make multiple coats should I just thin the paint until I get the correct viscosity? Or should I spray the paint at the current viscosity?
thanks,
