    There is no magic number for psi it will vary depending on the viscosity of the paint I will go as low as 18 and as high as 50

    What he said. I paint at higher pressure than most. I like it between 50-60 PSI for the pearls and less for transparents. It seems to help with overspray.

    I like these questions because what I really notice is that everyone seems to have a preference. Im on a couple different sites and I notice this on all of them. Most my painting is around 50psi.
