to get the pressure right you need to spray it out untill you get what is right for you and so that it doesn't come out to thickly as it will run, but not too fine so it is patchy! Not sure bout the other stuff!

what do you mean thick??

and as above.. you have the pressure as high or as low as you want.. as long as the gun isnt spitting the paint.. then its down to personal preference.

a devilbis gun should be able to spray the primer providing it is mixed to the right ratio.I always spray around 60psi and upwards depending on the paint used.I use Mipa 2 pack and found it to be really good for maximum coverage and price per litre

1> Yes that gun is perfect for primer, mix the primer 4:1 with about 10% thinners and it'll be great.
2> 200 psi any higher it'll be rough feeling, any less you won't get a nice even coat.
3> A 1.8 setup is too big for a solid, it'll bang it on too fast and you'll probably get lots of runs! you want a 1.3/1.4
4> Same pressure as the primer.
