Quoted from BR80:Yes, you'll definitely want to thin the Valspar paint with some water or your gun will sputter more than spray.
Seeing this thread again makes me realize how terrible my phone/camera was a couple years ago.
I think the Whitewater project finished recently turned out a little nicer than this FH:

I add blue windshield washer solvent at 20% as opposed to water when spraying latex with an HVLP. It sprays like a dream, Doesn’t change color. And evaporates super quick.
I have even sprayed bright white paint with this method and it’s worked perfectly
Quoted from arcadenerd925:Not to hijack, but any chance you guys could link to a suitable product? or just any concentrated windshield fluid? Gonna be attempting this in a few weeks.
just your plain old $0.99 blue windshield washer fluid... i couldn't believe it. You should practice on scrap wood first and always strain your paint through a filter after mixing and before putting into your HVLP.
