So, the tech specs for my base coat say needle from 1.3mm-1.6mm.
The clear says the same.

What size tip would be best for the gun to spray either finish and why? I am buying a new gun.

you don't have to post the same question on different threads bud. Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I know. Lol.
So I picked up my new grille today to replace the cheap eBay one that it Came with. Excited to have it all one color again. HellaFab.ca

Was that OEM? How much? Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

It is OEM. Bought it on ebay for $150 plus ship. If you are in the states you can get it for just a little more than that from Majestic Honda (hondaautomotiveparts.com) They dont ship to canada so i was stuck. The local Honda in canada wanted $210 for the inner grille and $90 for the outer trim part. HellaFab.ca

Didnt really do a ton, but I took some pics with my new camera and cleaned the bay up for paint.
The AC wasnt charged, so i took it apart. Going to replace all of the seals and put it back together/get it recharged. just a few more minutes sanding this out and i should be ready for spray. also, new tools... Dad picked me up a Devilbiss startingline kit with 1.3,1.5 and 1.8 tips. Should be better than my $30 HF jobbie. HellaFab.ca

Hey! Thought you put it on the back burner. Those hondas rust where the bumper cover meets the fender well on the quarters. Any way keep us posted and hope the sprayers work well. Happy New Year!!

Let me ask you something,,,you said you used 180 grit on a 6" da to get a good base and then with 400 grit.
Did you use a guide coat after you sanded it with 180? I hope so. If you missed any areas, Its gonna show. "The number of parasites in the USA has now eclipsed the number of productive members of society"

No guide coat yet.
I know there are some areas that need touching up, so i am going over it again once more just just prior to paint. Can i spot prime areas like i have and lay base right on top, or should i hit the whole thing with some high build, sand it down again and giver with the base then? I think in the past i have just primed in spots with no ill effect on paint finish... but i cant remember. HellaFab.ca
