    www.autobodydepot.com Sells them. As an FYI last I knew for the Devilbiss Finishline they only do up to a 2.2 fluid tip. I've shot monster flake out of that prior with no problems, so I'm kind of curious why the need for a 3.0?
    I know they do a 1.8, but not sure on a 2.0. And I know for a fact they also do a 2.2 as I have 2 of them for shooting monster flake.

    2.0 is plenty big for spray filler. i have a 2.0 and I feel its too big sometimes and I spray polyester filler all the time. you cant drill out the tip, the needle would still be the same size and it would just spray like shit even if you could.:)

    I use a 2.0 for primer and have another for flake, Never needed anything bigger, Definitly don't drill out.

    If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, go and get one of there cheapie guns for this. I 've got one just for primer-filler and they work good for that. Don't waste your good finish gun on crap like that.

    I would recommend a 2.0 as well. I have one gun for primers/sealers, a Sata KLC 1.7 and antoher cheapie for flakes and high build/fillers with a 2.0. Never had any problems with either. I am 99% Devilbiss goes only to a 2.2 as well.
