Try it on your "new" hatch. I'd definitely like to see that, man. Mine is in need of a hood and some new semi-flat black.

Nope it wont work. The paint needs to be atomized before contact, the wagner doesnt atomize it enough. It comes it way to thick

But isnt automotive paint different than Home paints and stains?

Also why does the paint have to be atomized? shouldnt everything be mixed together with the Thinner?

The tip that the wagner uses is massive, the average spray gun is 1.4.
Atomization has nothing to do with paint mixing this just means that the paint is turned into TINY particles when going through the gun tip

I would just buy a cheap bottom feed spray gun rather then use the wagner.
