What happens here
The painter explains his choice of spray tips for exterior painting. He uses a 515 tip for the main body of the house and a 310 tip for gutters. He clarifies that while larger tips (like 619s, 517s, or 1221s) can paint faster, they result in more overspray and wasted paint, which is especially costly with expensive paints like Sherwin Williams Emerald Rain Refresh. He emphasizes that the goal is to apply the right amount of paint with minimal overspray, meeting the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) specifications.
Goal: Choose the correct spray tips for different exterior surfaces.
