it shouldn't damage it, if that's what you mean.  i don't use enamel so i don't know how effective it'd be but acrylics will spray with sufficient thinning and so should enamels.

There is no problem using the tan noozle with enamels. It's designed to use enamels.

I think last time I tried I maybe hadnt thinned enough , its just that the tan one doesnt list thinned enamels in its profile  , maybe you have to thin more than usual as last time it got so blocked I had to strip it down , its prob just me Smile [:)]

Since the Tan Noozle if for fine lines, you do have to thin the paint more than normal.

No idea. I use only Testor brand paints. Keeps the confusion to a minimum. Testors suggests two methods:
Method 1 - Thick paint and High Pressure (around 30 psi)
Needle will be partial retracted.
Method 2 - Thin paint and Low Pressure (around 10-15 psi)
Needle will be fully retracted.
