BEHR paint instruction: "Thin no more than 1/2 pint per gallon...Use
airless sprayer 0.015 spray tip." What is airless sprayer? How do I find
out the tip size of a spray gun (I borrowed the gun from someone).

thx in advance

I water down the paint to 4 parts paint, 1 part water. The resulting

seen. Meanwhile, my hand paint (with Purdy brush) job, while has a
little
brush mark, but it retains the satin finish and looks and feels smoother
to
me.

How can I maintain the satin sheen with spray gun? Is it because I
didn't
water it down properly?

What kind of paint? Read the label on the can, and see if there's anything
on
there about using it in a spray gun. Then get back to us. Tom
