Can you (I ) spray clear and not have to cut & buff?
I'll be using either a Devilbus Copper with the HE 7E7 cap or the Devilbus Pro Lite with either the HE TE1O or TE20 cap. This will be a new gun for me. What's chances of not having to C&B?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It will require you testing and practicing. I KNOW this is not the answer you are looking for....but ...even if you had a gun just like mine....I could get the finish as you want it to look ...but maybe you could not...and that has to due with your air pressure in RELATION to how you set the PATTERN and your FLUID CONTROL....then comes the distance from the panel and your travel speed....and all of this can change when the air temperatures and humidity change.
So...even if I used my gun for shooting gelcoat...which has s huge needle and nozzle...I could adjust the gun so I could apply clear and have it looking good...but I would have to test it a few times until I got it 'dialed-in'.

Sorry for the'yes'-'no' answer.
From specks of lint and trash to orange peel intensity. NO ONE can actually answer that question.
You can have the cleanest environment to spray in.....but if your paint is not 'dialed-in'...then ...there you go....texture that will require cutting and buffing.
And you can get the paint and clear 'dialed-in' and have a crappy environment and now you have specks of trash and lint.
Trying to get BOTH perfect...is not an easy feat.
