A friend of mine seems certain that you cant use a gravity feed LVLP spray gun with acrylic for some reason.. i dont know why, and thinks you can only use it for 2 pack


is this the case?

sorry, not really getting what you trying to say

you can spray anything with a gravity feed, it just that they works best within the range of viscosity
