1.4mm is a good size for sparying a car, you'd either want 1.4 or 2mm, no reason to change to 2, so stick with the 1.4...
hvlp (high volume low pressure) isn't really used for spraying cars, so I wouldn't worry about it... plus a good hvlp gun is quite expensive (not the $60 ones you can get, waste of time). but you wouldn't use it for a car anyway, maybe aircraft etc... |
