So 90% of my work is on 0.3 China cheepo, but I bought H&S Ultra on a sale which is 0.2 MM ... I used it for detail work and primed and varnished on the 0.3 China Cheapo.
Anyway I wanted to "upgrade" my H&S ultra to 0.3 with nozzle, cap and needle, but what a surprise they dont have 0.3, but 0.4... Can anyone let me know if there is any significant difference?

It'll have a higher flow rate and spray thicker paint. Easier to do basecoats, harder to do fine detail work.

I actually really like big nozzles, they're far less sensitive to thinning than the small ones. I do my priming and basecoats with a 0.7mm nozzle, go down to 0.5mm for medium detail work, and only go down to 0.3 for fine detail work. I did also have a 0.2 but I buggered the needle and never bothered to replace it because I didn't like the way it sprayed.

Spraying with a 0.7mm lets you lay paint down almost as fast as a rattle can if you want, but still gives a lot more control than a rattle can.

So 0.4 should not be any problem at all If I am used to 0.3?
Thanks!
