What
tips should I get?
Recommendations are to be used as a starting
point reference and are not an absolute application for all
refinish material brands. They are not meant to imply that any
given air cap/fluid tip combination can not be used to successfully
spray any given refinish material. Technique and personal preference
must also be considered.
As a general Rule, a 1.7-1.8 HVLP can handle
most materials.
If you want a more exact match, Generally, go smaller
for Clears Urethanes (1.3) and larger for base coats and Wood
Waterbornes (1.5&1.6) and larger still for primer surfacers,
lacquers and enamels (1.5-1.8). We recommend the DeVilbiss Guns
because they generally come with multiple tips to handle all
your finer refinishing needs.
