What happens here

This step distinguishes between the performance of green (fine finish) and blue (regular) tips. Green fine finish tips are designed for superior atomization, resulting in a much smoother, finer finish, ideal for lacquers on cabinets, interior trim, doors, or furniture. In contrast, using a regular blue tip (e.g., a 413) for such fine finish work would likely produce an 'orange peel' or 'stippled' texture, which is undesirable for detailed work.

Goal: This step explains the difference between fine finish (green) and regular (blue) airless sprayer tips, detailing their respective applications and the quality of finish they provide.

size of 10. So what is the difference between the the green tips and the blue tips? The green tip is an actual uh fine finish tip and it atomizes the paint a lot better and it throws it out uh throws out a finer finish. a blue tip. If you used say like a 413 or something and tried to spray trim, it's going to give you more of an orange peely or a stippled look to it than a really fine finish like a fine finish tip would. So, you definitely want to when you're trying to spray like lacquers on cabinets or spray interior trim or interior doors or any type of furniture, definitely use your green fine finish tips and not the blue tips.
