nm, i think thats a spelling people just sort of adopted after 2k became prevalent
and seems to now be used interchangeably with 2k
sameI thought 2 Pak was a dead rapper
LOL that one uses a "c"World wide use of the k is probably so as not to confuse 2c with the temperature, can't have folks trying to freeze their clear in a moment of confusion.

I know i kind of said this but on mini guns its generally roughly.;Thanks Darijan. I would like to buy this gun cause of Gunmans review. But I hoped I could use it for everything if I buy good nozzle size. But the biggest nozzle size on this gun is 1.2
this is actually great post. I was confused about the difference between mini and full gun.I know i kind of said this but on mini guns its generally roughly.;
.5 or .6= at this size I treat it as airbrush so .6 is just wide area do it all size, nothing you cant run in it.
.8= 1.2 or 1.3 full size
1.0= 1.4 or 1.6 full size
1.2= 1.8 full size.
But they also arent as sensitive, trying to push primer through a .8 mini wont be bad like trying to push primer with a 1.3 full
Just for reference

Its kind of a loose reference, from experience I can say a 1.0 or a .6 can run any paint you wantthis is actually great post. I was confused about the difference between mini and full gun.
I will argue your stats above Robby,
a lot of us use the LPH80 which is described as a 'compact' spray gun, the needle can be anywhere between .60 & 1.2 depending on the model.
I have the LPH80 with the 1.2 set up.
From what i've read the main difference between a mini/compact/touch up gun and a full size spray gun is the physical size of both the gun and the cup. yes full size guns will likely go up a bit in needle size.
Unless you plan on spraying cars / walls all day then there really is no need for a full size spray gun.
Obviously smaller air cap, nozzle and paint capacity in the pot for touch up guns. I use them for small repairs on bumper bars etc so I can contain the paint and don't get over spray everywhere. And I use an Iwata w400 1.4 for bc / cc for larger panels and resprays.I think a qualified person such as @Shane1971 should have some input here.
C'mon Shane, enquiring minds needs to know . . . . What defines a 'mini/compact/touch-up' gun Vs a full size gun ?
no just a sort of rule of thumb conversion for picking a nozzle size.ah ok, i may have mis-read your post, i thought you were saying that a mini gun was of a certain size nozzle. . .
Ohhh...I see, its the way i spaced the .5 .6 line ...made it mis-leading, sorryah ok, i may have mis-read your post, i thought you were saying that a mini gun was of a certain size nozzle. . .
