I need to spray a two part urethane that ends up rather viscous – sorta like a good latex or spar poly.. Any tips or suggestions as to which equipment to use?

I don't know the individual models, but Graco makes commercial sprayers that can handle liquid tar and asphalt coatings. Can't get mych more vicious, can you?

Pete... I don't think you necessarily need airless. I HVLP spray latexes and thicker all the time. What's it being applied to, what sort of finish do you need? A good multi stage turbine will do it. Of course it's going to be pricier than an airless but a better finish and less overspray.

This urethane is the APU product from here:

This will be the final and top coat of my workshop 'poxy floor. Previous applications using a brush &/or roller have left some bubbles and crap behind. The manufacturer recommends an airless application followed by a backroll. They're specific about this. Where an HVLP can be (or should be) used, they make mention of that in their application instructions.
I'm interested in a smooth, bubble-free, lint-free, brush hair-free final coat cause it certainly looks pretty!
The Graco sounds like what I'm interested in, but this is not a dilutable material. I'm gonna have to match the tip size and power to the product. I have NO intention of using this for any spraying of latex or house paint.
