3 MUST HAVE Airless Spray Tips!

What happens here

The presenter explains the numbering system common to most airless sprayer tips: the first digit, when multiplied by two, indicates the fan width in inches when spraying 12 inches from the surface (e.g., '3' in 310 means a 6-inch fan). The subsequent two digits denote the orifice size, which controls the amount of paint flow. Titan's purple tips are identified as fine finish tips, designed to achieve a very smooth, 'automobile-like' finish without 'eggshelling,' making them perfect for delicate surfaces. The Fine Finish 310 is highly recommended for spraying doors, gutters, interior trim, cabinets, and furniture. A 510 fine finish tip is also mentioned for new construction, offering a wider fan for faster work on doors.

Goal: Learn the characteristics and ideal applications for fine finish airless sprayer tips.
