So, a few needle and nozzle recommendations. When it comes to spraying cabinets and furniture, I'm typically spraying with my atomizer gun. So, this is the black edition gun. I'm using an Apollo Precision 6 HVLP sprayer and I typically spray on one or 2K polyurethanes. I do like Rener 851. That's what I'm spraying. You know, here if I'm using a top coat and clear coat, I'll be using a 1.3 uh needle nozzle set with a BHS air cap. So, the gold air cap. If I'm spraying a grain filling primer like I did on these cabinets, Rener 648, I'm a step up to a 1.8 needle nozzle set with a CHS air cap. So, those are really the only two needles and nozzles I ever use when it comes to cabinet and furniture refinishing.
