John,If you were a production shop I'd say sure just reduce it about 10% but I know what your looking for and something about reducing it just goes against my grain .I'd try the 1.5 and try dialing the gun down first.I've never used a 1.5 so I cant tell you for sure. I can tell you this though,lately (since my Iwata 1.4 is down ) I've been using Barrys Euro clear with a 4:1:1 out of my Sata 1.3 and its working beautifully...I just finished a big 4 dr truck (black)without a single run ,and its slick as glass...It figures too because I was waiting or my new gun to come and couldnt wait any longerI finished the truck at 3:30 and 4:15 my supply man called and said he had something for me and he'll bring it by in the morning. (my new gun)
