Greetings,
I need to spray a couple coats of Poly-Tone, and it's been decades since the last time I did this. I also have an ugly car that needs a paint job, so I'm looking to buy a self contained HVLP turbine type unit to do both. The leading option right now is the Fuji Semi-Pro 2, which is a reasonably priced 2-stage unit that I know will do the occasional auto painting job.
My main question is about the thickness of the Poly-Tone when thinned as directed. As I understand, it's a vinyl based paint, but no HVLP gun ever mentioned that. There is plenty of talk about stains, enamels, and thicker latex, and you have to make choices according to which type of paint you plan to use most. How does vinyl Poly-Tone compare in thickness to those? Is it going to be so thick that you shouldn't try to use a 2-stage unit, or will that do the job easily?
Thanks,
Rusty (I hate painting)
