Default Using S100 with a spray gun

The local Harley Dealer uses S100 through a insecticide sprayer to apply it. I was wondering how S100 would work with an Air Spray gun. I tried it with a basic air spray gun at about 20-30lbs delivery pressure and I found it worked great and further more I believe it used less S100. A couple of side benefits as well.

1. The finer mist allows delivery to more nooks and crannys.
2. Using less means money savings.

Keeping a black bike clean is a challenge and I am grateful for all the learning opportunities I am gaining. I like what Henry Ford said, "You can have any color you want as long as it is black."

I use a refillable aerosol can from Harbor Freight. They come with a few different spray nozzles to adjust the amount you want to spray. They work great.

That refillable aerosol looks sweet. Can you tell me more about it? How do you know how much liquid to put in? Does it have a pressure gauge or do I just set the pressure on my a/c regulator?
