Great info gents. Long time residential painter (unprofessional) walls, ceilings, baseboard and crown, the old school way with masking off and brush and rollers. I just bought a new home and will be buying the 1700, based on your videos. Thank you for that. Never sprayed before, but always appreciated that glass like finish. Cant wait to get started spraying for the first time ever. Thanks again, for the videos, content, and inspirational and confidence building videos!!!
@brianholleran63406 жыл бұрын
these tips as well as the gracos new ff low pressure tips are amazing. I like gracos a little better inside becaus I like using ff tips on walls. They are expensive but not when you consider the savings. You can save a ton of paint and the tip lasts much longer at the low pressure. I wouldnt say the instantly make a novice a pro but they do help the learning curve. The feathering helps bad strokes.

My old boss used to run that pressure guage on an hvlp for spraying laquer and stain on high end interior work; Mostly cabinets, doors, crown molding, etc. It's a little outta place for exterior work, try waving that thing around for 6-8 hours spraying all day and it's going to end up cracked, and extra weight not worth the trouble. Just test your fan on a cardboard shield when you're setting up and you're good to go.

Thanks for all the videos. Been binge watching the last few days as I'm getting ready to paint my garage. Just picked up a used(1.5yr old) Titan 640 for $700 because I wanted the digital readout. Also picked up the Titan Pro-RX gun, 20" extension, and the rac X 310 fine finish and 517 tips. Do you think these Titan tips are better than the Rac X tips? I'm brand new to using an airless so curious on your thoughts.
@edwardce83416 жыл бұрын
armyguy209 I think the 310 and 517 rack X tips you have will work just fine. However these new tips from Titan (HEA) and Graco (FFLP) are meant to be shot at 55% less pressure than The original Rac X black tips. I spray the FFLP tips around 1250 psi on my Graco 490 and it also produces a finer finish. I only own FFLP tips. Spring at lower pressure has several benefits including prolonging the life of your sprayer, less aerosolized particles,
