I have one of these (#46719) that I'l be trying for the first time. I'm looking for suggestions on it's setup. Sumner's page was very helpful setting my 20 oz. HF gun.
A search took me to a 2 yr. old thread where Purplepickup said how much he liked his. Maybe he'll chime in.

You can set up the 46719 about the same as the larger gun on Sumner's page.  I usually run about 45-50 psi at the gun and fiddle with all the rest of the adjustments to match what I'm doing.  I like it for small things and detail work because you can dial it down to focus on a very small area if needed but atomization is still good.  Or you can turn up the fluid control and fan adjustments and spray some bigger areas.  The range of adjustablity is handy for painting in and around nooks and crannies that could produce runs with a larger gun.

I used a 46719 gun on this bicycle and am happy with the results.

Thanks George
I thought it might not be too different from the full size gun; just like to hear from the voice of experience.
