Hello Saddlers1888
Given this is a solvent based product we urge you to take all the correct precautions, wearing the correct PPE and RPE. The paint will go thorugh the machine with no issues, there are two main points; Health and safety is paramount, so ensure good ventialtion and circulation, and the PPE. The second is airless machines (depending on machine) can have 15 metres of hose, where you are obviously carrying alot of wet material - this can take a lot of cleaning.
Given the power of airless machines, thinning to certain viscosity levels is less important than for HVLP machines. The maximum dilution amount is 10% - 100ml white spirit per litre of paint, this is the extreme and would add 2.5% at a time, small amount to these products make a big difference.
I hope this helps.
Thank you
