Just wondering what the best tip would be for the spraying of some office doors just the Frame not the door. Will be using Oil paint from SW and the Sprayer is a Titan 440.

Thanks,

what kind of oil, like an industrial enamel?
I would use a 211 tip if it was me. Some will tell you to use a fft like a graco 210.
I would put a generous amount of japan drier in the finish, i would not thin it and i would use a titan 211 tip

sorry but I have to say...throw those graco tips in the garbage can ! try a tip from tritech . .google em )also called painters supply direct the feathered edges on these tips are so soft and nice to work with,use em once and you will switch ..the telephone number is (877)572-4683 ask to speak to john plocic the owner,tell him you saw a write up on here and you want a free tip !..he usually comes thru for the first time guys.... just my 2 cents

211's are perfect

With a 411 if ya had do the doors. Ya just better make sure you strain the paint good, and even put a strainer bag on the foot on the pump too. Just to save you the headache if it clogs.

Used a 209 one time, just as good.....except no speed at all! Take ya twice as long as a 211.
