All about airless paint sprayer tips.. When airless spraying trim, what fine finish airless tips are you a fan of using?.. Graco FFLP, Wagner Fine Finish or TriTech Ultra Fine Finish

Do you typically use a 208 / 308 or 210 / 310 tip?. Or even a 311 ?

This video starts by providing masking tips and a guide how to mask a room to spray trim, using a 3M Hand Masker.. Followed by testing airless spray tips, a 208 by Graco, Wagner and TriTech ..spraying low viscosity paint

Graco, Wagner and TriTech all have something to offer.. not all being low pressure tips, it’s not about which airless tip sprays at the lowest pressure. It’s not a ‘one size fits all’ when airless spraying paint.

All about airless paint sprayer tips, airless spray tips explained.. First digit 2 signifies a 4” fan pattern, suitable for trim such as skirting, architrave, door frames and window sills. For doors, you may want to go to a 308 for a wider 6” fan width

Orifice size, 08 equals .008 which is a measurement in thousands of an inch (.008”).. this size is suitable for low viscosity (flows easily, thin paints) materials such as lacquers and manufacturer (spray only) coatings.

To spray thicker ‘decorative’ paints and primers, typically you would choose a .010 such as a 210 or 310.. if you’re still getting tails when going up the pressure, this is when you would go up a tip size, eg a 208 to a 210

The following spray tip guards were used..

🟦 Graco RAC X Tip Guard
🟨 Wagner TradeTip 3 Tip Guard
🇺🇸 TriTech T93R Tip Guard

Wagner and TriTech airless tips will fit each other’s guard, you should have trouble free spraying but be aware the seat / gaskets are different, that are not interchangeable. Then Graco tips will only fit Graco tip guards
