Tips
Hi folks. Just wondering what everyones ideas are on tips for sprayers? Talking outside work and comparing SW or Grayco. Have always used grayco but SW has a sweet deal going on at the proshow this week. Only do 5-10 houses a yr and using a Ultimate MX 490. Love reading the input in this place. Thanks for all and any on this.

Been hashed and rehashed several times here, think our favorite is the titan, 5-10 homes a year sounds like a 440ix and a 515 tip should do ya.
