I have a customer asking for a whitewash on pine.
Does anyone have a preferred method?

I doubt you've seen much of what I can do.The effect is achieved by wiping off the excess before is soaks in significantly. I doubt that your spraying will achieve what is supposed to be the desired "white wash" look. The final result that I was supposed to create was supposed to be a whitish pine look, semi transparent, with the full grain and knots showing through. I used Zar white stain, painted it on, and wiped off the excess after about 15 minutes. The result was a flat and moderately whitened pine board look. She wanted it shiny, so I applied semi gloss wipe-on poly as the second coat and put several coats on the top.
Looking for photo...........
