This weekend I shot my car with DP50LF. I have a 120gal 2 stage compressor, Devilbliss FLG3 gun and was using a 1.5 tip. There's a regulator at the gun and I had one of those disposable dryers between the hose and the ragulator. I have a screen in the bottom of the cup and poured the primer through a filter cup. When I shot the test pattern the spray was nice and consistent. It stayed consistent for some time but then developed a flicker. Not too bad but enough that I had to try compensate for it. My first step for clean up is to throw some lacquer thin in the gun and spray it. The flicker disappeared. Any one have some ideas on what happened?

I agree with Joel71, you also need to step up to atleast 1.7 tip for primers,with 1.5 tim, you'll be there all day trying to cover the whole car. I wouldn't use anything smaller than 2.0 ,mine is 2.2 I believe
I think DP with a 1.5-6 tip is about right, it is quite thin not a building primer...
I have had the same problem on extended sprays or where I take a "break" -- ALWAYS wipe the air nozzle / tip down with lacquer thinner every now and then, it keeps paint buildup from f'ing up your spray pattern...
