Depends if it is fish oil or linseed oil based paint. Fish oil streaks

Iām glad to see that Iām not the only one who has had this problem before.
First, you need to put a 5āer of your paint into the buffer tank.
(make sure you use enamel paint)
Then drop your DS injector hose into a gallon can of thinner.
( that may not be enough sometimes, so you may need an extra gallon of thinner on your X-jet at the end)
Just make sure you have someone follow you up with a roller to get rid of any streaks or running.
You got this.
Donāt listen to the rest of these guys, you donāt need all of that negativity in your life.

The only time I use an ejector and an xjet together is when Iām doing a roof over, especially with trailer roofs because you really need a thick cover. But again using the xjet leads to runs on a wall, then you have to get out a rollerā¦ Thatās counter productive. I am impressed that you found a way to use enamal that would come in handy to the fleet guys. Get an infared heater and you could bake that enamel right onto the trucks and trailersā¦

Welcome, youāll fit right in. For about 1/2 of us English is a 2nd language too. And youāre obviously not too smart to have read all of this thread, lol. So youāre perfect.

This thread is waay off track! @BuzzLightyear all you need is a 12 volt pump. Havenāt you ever heard of an HVLP sprayer? Painters should have learned to use 12 volts years ago. I repainted a house just yesterday with a 12 volt, and Iām sure the homeowner will be happy to see it when he gets home.
Iāll post a picture of the house shortly.
(Only problem is that, since the 12 volts arenāt ādesignedā for paint, you have to change them out after every 2-3 gallons of paint, or take the head off and replace the diaphragm with dolphin skin one, which lets you pump about 5 gallons before itās toastā¦ Itās kind of a hassle, but it still saved me almost $23.00 over hiring a āprofessionalā painter)
