Have some fun by practicing how to set it up
It sounds like your a new comer to spray painting, Did you buy alot of cheap coloured? white/black is tricky to spot the real **** ups.
Thats how i learnt anyway.

wind the fan out all the way
wind the fluid out 2 full turns
set the air pressure- will vary depending on gun
wind the fan in untill the fan has an even spray
test spray
if there is too much paint coming out wind it in not enough wind it out
same goes for the fan control

why would the paint shop guy sell you a gravity gun designed for 2 pac
to use with acrylic the tip in your gun bro is not best suited for acrylic as they use a 1.2 to 1.4 tip a pot feed gun uses 1.8 to 2.0 better for acrylic.
not saying you cant use it, as i guess with experiance you could probly
do ok with it, they just flow a little slow, my advice is get your your mixing ratio right and slow your gun strokes down to compensate the smaller tip goodluck

Basically get some paint in your spray gun.
Get some card board and stand it up.
Have the gun all ready to use.
Then shoot. Basically press the trigger once all the way in.
You should have a line that is perfect to perhaps a little bit oval.
Oval just means there is more paint in the centre.
If not that just play around with the air, fan , mixture screws till you get that spray pattern.
