HVLP Spray Tip Size
I am looking to buy some clear and other colors and will be spraying using HVLP, what size tip do you recommend?
Answer: A general rule of thumb is: Heavy-bodied primers and primer surfacers work best when you use a nozzle size of 1.7 to 2.2. Basecoats should be sprayed with a 1.4 to 1.6 nozzle. Clearcoats should be sprayed with a 1.3 to 1.7 nozzle.

Primer before Paint on Large Custom BBQ Smoker
I'm painting a large custom made smoker and was wondering if I should use the zinc dust prime before painting. What is your recommendation?

Paint a Wall Heater
Is your stove paint appropriate to use on a wall heater? Does it require special expertise to use? Is primer required? Does it require special brushes or rollers to apply? How does it compare to KBS Coatings high heat resistant paint?
Answer: Our paint is an industrial paint/coating and will adhere to a bare metal, clean and dry surface. The first/initial drying/curing of the paint will have a little smell/odor from solvent evaporating. Primer is not required (that is for rust and corrosion) a brush needs to have a wooden handle (for solvent based paints)
