Majic Diamond Hard paint

Anyone tried to spray it? Data sheet of shows brushing or rolling. I'd like to try water borne paint for certain projects

I've used a lot of waterborne acrylic enamel and it works great. The only thing that bothers me is the Majic brand, they have a pretty bad reputation.

Agree on the quality of Majic paint. Thus would be going on units undeserving of better. Can it be reduced enough to go through my HVLP Gun with out having to find another tip? It is old and finding a tip could be a challenge.

Yes you can reduce the finish for your sprayer. The finish is just prepackaged to their specifications which may need to be thinned for some guns while others it doesn't. You just need to try it in your gun first without thinning it and see how it does. Then gradually thin it until it sprays alright. Don't thin it any more than it's necessary. Check with the instructions as to the correct thinner. The acrylic finish I used was thinned with water. It's real easy to over thin an acrylic finish.
