What Paints Will You Use?
Light (stains or enamels)
Medium (primers or interior paint)
Heavy (exterior paint or 100% acrylics)
What Tip Sizes Will You Need? (see chart below)
The coating (paint) thickness being applied determines the minimum tip hole
size required. Heavier coatings require larger tip hole sizes. General coating
classifications provide a good guideline for tip hole size needed.
Sherwin-Williams

provides spray tip recommendations for their products.

Refer to the application section of paint container label. It is important that
you select a model that can support the tip size(s) you need.

Spray Tip Selection
Using a good-quality spray tip that is appropriately sized for your painting
project is critical to achieving good spraying results. The spray tip controls
the amount of material (paint) applied and the area the spray pattern will
cover. A range of tip sizes classified by both hole size and spray pattern
width can be used, based on these factors:
Paint/Coating Surface being sprayed
Sprayers ability to support the tip hole size
How to Choose the Right Airless Spray Tip
Example: 286515
The last 3 digits provide important
tip information: Double the first digit
for the approximate spray pattern width
(e.g. 5 x 2 = 10 in)
The last 2 digits indicate the tip hole
size in thousands (e.g. 0.015 in)
Select tip hole size for your coating.
Spraying Surface Determines Spray Pattern Width
For narrow or smaller surfaces (cabinets, fences, railings), a spray
pattern width of 6 or 8 inches is usually the best choice. Narrower widths
provide sharper definition and more control.
For large surfaces (ceilings/walls), a wider spray pattern of 10 to 12
inches is your best choice to cover large areas more quickly.
Tip Size Must Be Within Sprayer Performance Capability
A key difference in sprayers is the maximum tip size they can support.
Choose your sprayer based on the coating types youll be spraying, and
make sure the largest tip (hole size) you plan to use is within the maximum
tip size range the sprayer can support.
It is always best to have a machine with more capacity. For example, if you
plan to use a .015 tip frequently, your sprayers capacity should be one tip
hole size larger (.017 tip). This allows for tip wear, which causes the tip hole
size to increase.
Sprayable Coating Determines Hole Size
Determine which spray tip size to use by the thickness of your coating.
Spray tips are labeled by their hole size in thousandths of an inch.
Larger tip sizes are for heavier coatings
Larger tip size increases production rate/speed
Tip size cannot exceed sprayer max tip size specified
