Hi, can anybody tell me how to convert from Mpa to lbs per sq. in's. Instructions on my new spray gun say 0.3 to 0.5 Mpa, (means nothing to me ) Thanks Ray

50 to 70psi usually gets you in the right ballpark, what kind of gun have you bought?

Hi Pete, its an Omega, recommended by the guy who sprays cars at our local garage. Don't know if it's as good as he say's, (haven't tried it yet). Cheers Ray

Sounds high ??

I use 40-50 for the suction feed gun and 20-30 for my HVLP gravity feed one.
