I have aquired a used Fuji gun and 3 stage turbine. I have 2 spraying nozzles, a #3 and a #4.
I am going to spray LMI nitrocelluloss laquer. Can someone tell me which nozzle I should use.
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
I have the same set up and the number 3 works just fine. I bet the number 4 would work also.

Thanks, I'll try the #3 first then.

I have a Fuji 4. The Gun manual States:

1) #3 (part9001-3) 1mm Fine Output is for Waterbased Laquers, NITRO...etc.
2) #4 (part9001-4) 1.4mm Medium Output is for Auto enamels and Nitro and latex.

I have used the #4 tip in the standard suction feed (cup) gun and in the gravity fed (cup) gun - both are Fuji. I like the gravity feed gun better but the #4 tip works wqually well in both. I haven't tried the finer #3 tip. BUT the #4 seems a bit fine at times( perhaps my inability to adjust the gun properly). I was thinking of going to a #5.
