finished spraying the ceiling, how about the trim
well,,, i sprayed all the ceilings with a 517 tip and worked out great, next i want to spray the doors and trim. i bought a 417 tip for that. was i correct or what??? i hope so, now i have a 513,515,517,619, and a 417 tip. i would of used the 619 tip on the ceiling but it's too much of a wide fan for me just yet. i still need more practice.

Agree with above, the 17 size orifice is too big for finish paint. Most guys I know use a 10 or 12 opening fine finish tip.

I agree with posts above but have also used 213,313,215, and 315. monitor the pressure at your rig as well also helps. usually dont need full pressure, but you can tell if you are getting a nice fan. If you are just learning, the smaller the tip the easier the learning curve.

5 will work out ok, just stand back and don't get too close or you'll glob the paint.... practice on a board and spray away. I use a 517 on ceilings, doors, trim... but i've also got about 30 years on ya.

Should of added tips into the material part of the job. It is all overhead. Quality is never cheap, not with you or your material

not trying to hijack thread but
ok guys, i have been doing a little painting lately and the spraying trim sounds great, i don't remember what thread it was but someone mentioned using a cup sprayer for trim. do you guys tape off the ceilings? how do you keep overspray from getting on the ceiling? and is this possible to do on repaints. i think it would be much easier to cut and roll the walls than to cut the trim after the walls are rolled, thanks for your help. funny how life works, started out thinking i was going to be the worlds greatest trim carpenter but after people have seen a couple of rooms ive painted, ive been getting calls to paint.

I wouldn't suggest a cup sprayer for trim.. just furniture grade stuff... like bookcases or nice wainscot. I also wouldn't think too hard on a sprayer for interior repaints.
