Re: Tip Sizes For Trim SprayingQuote:
We used to spray high gloss industrial enamel, no thinning of that material which is a lot thicker than latex, 211 has always been a dependable tip.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
What I often wonder is this....what is the point of so many different tip and orifice sizes if you just spray whatever out of 211's? This is not the first time I've seen or heard this, but it's interesting.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
The tip size simply governs the amount of paint applied/shot. An 11 thousands of an inch tip is smaller than a 17 thousands, so it can slow application rates... combined with the fan size you can pick or choose how much and how fast paint is applied... most use a .211 since with a little practice at 6 inches, a 4 inch spray with a smaller orfice makes it a little easier to control and keeps down heavy spots without having to go to your pump for pressure adjustments.... likewise the 1024 makes ceilings... well, done.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
I was under the impression there were certain orifice sizes to ensure that different products atomize properly. I was taught to use pressure and orifice size to make sure you get an even spray pattern and proper atomization of all the paint flowing through the tip.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
Same principle without looking at the can. Depending on the pump size you can blow and go with the proper tip, or fine tune it. I normally carry two tips in my pocket for instance... when I am spraying I will use a 517 to spray ceilings and walls and swap to a 211 to hit window returns and trim, depends on how fast you move your arm. You are supposed to be able to change the pressure at the pump to do the same thing but, I just grew up that way. In contrast certain fliuds, like stains, I do regulate slightly smaller orfice sizes to insure a good atomization but I go up in fan size.
Can comment, most paints actually do tell you what size tip to use in the specs.. some on the can, some on the sheets.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
Yeah, that's what I'm more familiar with. The coating determining the orifice size.

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
well, after reading all of the great advice i began using the 211 tip on all trim and doors and it worked out great. in the beginning; since i'm new at spraying; i began with a 214 fine finish tip and it just blew too heavy. but the guys here pointed me in the right direction.
thanks alot guys. |

Re: Tip Sizes For Trim Spraying
The 211 works great with latex and the green 210 works even better IMO. It's hard to find the green 210 though, the 211 which is a black colored tip is readily available. I use my 440 titan and my little spraytech and have no problems. I even sprayed my bedroom furniture that was barewood with stain and poly using my airless, turned out great.
