1.8 or 2.0mm
I use a 1.8mm for just about everything, just don't use too much air, or it ends up....in the air.

I'd say 1.8mm would work, bare minimum (particularly for hifill). I prefer 2.0mm for everything including top coats

1.8 works brillayant
must thank the boys for giving me the advice on my other tread
keep the 1.3 and 1.5 they will work well with 2 pack/enamell if you decide to use them in the future

Looks pretty good that gun, I use an entry level devilbiss gun with 2.0mm tip and its great. Got mine from ebay, they sell them as a primer gun for 2pak, but its perfect for acrylic.
