Thanks for the numbers. I would have been WAY off on my first guess.
I understand that for sure.
I am down to minute details before putting the driveline in mine.
I don't think I have enough paint to get the trunk done this weekend, but get in one more practice round before hitting the trunk.

Will still be able to work on the other end.

All your experimenting has really helped out. BTW, I think I got my air cap from the same guys where you bought your gun. They make replecement parts for old binks guns.

I will report on this thread, good or bad.

I have my trunk repairs done on the Firebird and would love to paint the trunk correctly instead of resorting to the water based spray bomb methods.

Is there anyone near me in Central Jersey who can do the paint, or loan/rent me the correct spray gun to do it myself?

Just used the "Berlage" paint on my 72 Monte Carlo this weekend with a Devilbiss Finish Line HVLP gun with a 1.8 tip.
Got the paint for $69 from "The Parts Place Inc." Had to do it twice, as the first quart must have frozen at some point and was the consistancy of oatmeal.
Highly recommend laying down a black base first.
