Spray Question


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,

Re: Spray Question


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

Re: Spray Question


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.
