I just do stuff at home. Not a shop. Anyone used the Milton v type high flow fittings? Seem to have good reviews and cheaper.

Be warned Practice with your paint gun after switching to Hi flow fittings.
Your gonna have a whole new gun in your hands its gonna spray completely different with the correct air fittings in it.
Compressor CFM becomes a Bigger issue being able to keep up with the gun.

Awesome advice. I'll order the Milton fittings from amazon. Price is very reasonable. I bet the next time I spray I'll be surprised at the difference. The reviews on amazon say it makes a much more consistent pressure and spray.

I got the Milton fittings from Amazon. I can see how much bigger the cross section is compared to a normal fitting! Excited to try them out when I primer my LTD. I imagine they're going to make a better use of my compressor and spray gun.

Seems no one locally has the high flow fittings. I guess I'll have to go the amazon route also.

The Milton set on Amazon is more bang for the buck and the extras are cheap
