All About Airless Paint Sprayer Tips

What happens here

The presenter outlines the most common tip sizes he uses for various painting tasks. He recommends a 515 tip for exteriors and fences, a 310 for doors and gutters, a 621 or 1221 for elastomeric coatings and block fillers on new construction walls, a 619 for interior walls, and a 510 for new construction trim due to its efficiency for spraying many doors quickly.

What they say

now. So, I'm going to get spraying with some of the tips. I got uh I got a way a wide variety of wide array of tips. I'm going to be shooting uh a 12 fan up here. I'm going to shoot a 3 in uh 3 fan, which is 6 in. I'll shoot a 24, a 6, and then I'm going to shoot a 515. I use uh a 515 for doing exteriors. I use a 310 for doing interior trim work. And if I'm doing new construction or say a large uh tiltup or block building, I'm going to use or using um uh Elastics, I'm going to use a 12 in tip. So, I'll use like a 1221. Uh occasionally when spraying interiors, if I'm just doing a rental or something like that, I'll have a 619. But those are the most common tips I have. So, in all my vehicles, I stock 310s. I stock 515s cuz we spray all of our exteriors with 515s. I keep if I'm doing new construction, I always keep 12 21s in my tip in my vans. And then I also keep 619s in there. So, those are the the four most common tips that I use. Occasionally, we might need something else out. There's a whole array of tips, but we'll just run up to our paint store and grab something different if we got something uh different to do, but I use on exteriors 310 to do my gutters. Uh 515s to spray the body uh um stucco and shake stuff like that. If I'm doing fences, I use a 515. If I'm doing uh interior trim work on a house, I use 310s. If I'm doing interior trim, doing new construction, I use a 510 cuz you got a lot of doors to spray and it's faster to spray doors with a 510. Um uh and if I'm doing new construction walls and I'm the whole house, I'm going to be using a 1221 or 1223. So, that's uh a little bit about the tips I'm using. Hopefully, that answers the bunch of questions. Now, let's show you what it looks like to use
