    I need to shoot some late model OEM style metallic paint in some confined spaces (interior & firewall of my F100).

    Can I use a gun with 1.0 mm nozzle or is the 1.3 mm gun as small as I should go? (the gun with the 1.0 nozzle is physically smaller so it would be easier to hit all the nocks and crannies).

    Plse advise,

    Thanks,

    Hey,

    The larger tip may well do a better job of laying down the metalic
    on the larger areas. The actual size of the metalic, in the colour
    will be the biggest factor, not just the gun body size. A 1.3-1.4
    tip is good for most BB/CC oem finishes, today.

    make sure you wet it or it will come out crispy.....the metalic will not lay flat

    I never have a problem spraying metallics or pearls with my Sata Minijet 1.0. But then again I'm no pro painter... ;)
