G'Day Frank I've used mine a couple of times to add colour to parts of blanks but never used it for permagloss .I personally think it could ruin the gun as it uses moisture to cure & when you compress air it traps a lot of moisture .Also permagloss dries that fast it could dry in the gun.

Hi Frank,
Rick Heil has done it and here is a link to the technique [rodbuilding.org]. His email is also there and he usually will answer queries.

Spray blanks - seats any parts with it

Auto paints and clears are the best
Just clean the gun well after

I use a couple of Iwatas as well there is no way i would ever shoot permagloss through them if you want to shoot pg id grab a cheapy .05 that way you wont risk stuffing your Iwatas.
