[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 8336511, member: 150618"] A .019 or .021 tip is better for thicker acrylic paints and even bigger for elastomeric coatings. You need volume to use a bigger tip like that. The hose doesn't hold much paint, the professional sprayers seem to have bigger suction hoses and filter housings that take more paint to change. You can flush out the paint with water, and shut it off when the paint thins, you'll get some thinner paint, but I've never noticed an issue for what I do. I'd look for a used sprayer, and see what parts are available. Here, it's not hard to find a professional sprayer for $100 or $150, and a complete new pump can be installed in ten minutes for $250, so you have functional sprayer for $400 IF it needs a new pump, seal kits are much cheaper obviously.
