Replacement nozzles for Sears HVLP gun?

[Scott Gardner]

Geez, this seems to be my night for questions, but this should be the last one.

</cr>
I bought the Sears gravity-feed HVLP spray gun (model #915521) to learn with, and it came with 1.6mm and 2.2mm nozzles. According to Sears, there are no other nozzle sizes available. The person at the parts center did tell me that the gun was made by DeVilbiss, but I can't confirm or deny this. It has a silver-coloured body with a black plastic grip covering, and has "Made in England" on the handle, and "FLG" stamped into the body on the left side, just forward of the fan/flow controls.</cr>
If anyone has ever used any other brand of nozzles in their Sears gun, I would appreciate any hints. I'm wanting to try out a 1.3mm or 1.4mm nozzle, and don't want to have to buy a whole new gun to do it.</cr>
Thanks,

Well, I did a little more research, and the Sears gravity-fed HVLP model seems to be identical to the DeVilbiss "Finishline" economy model. I'll order a 1.4mm tip and replacement needle for the Finishline economy and report back here whether it fits or not.

I just got one of those guns myself last week to good of a deal to pass up, i also have a finish line non hvlp gun that came with a 1.4 tip, but i would be interested to see how you made out finding tips from devilbiss, I switched the 1.6 and 1.4 around on the guns i dont think it matters hvlp or not I think they needle and tip are the same regardless
