To paint acrylics (water based paints) requires the large tip and corresponding needle on the Paasche H-1.

I agree, the secret to painting today's water borne acrylics is a big tip. These paints are actually acrylic emulsions, with tiny globuals of solvent based paint floating around in soapy water. No matter how much water you add to thin the paint, the globuals remain the same size.
