I find these videos extremely helpful. I recently did my first paid home painting job..just last week. I referred back to your videos several times during the process and the home looked great and the home owner was very pleased. Thank you for the vids and giving me the confidence to start this painting adventure.
Thank you so much Chris and John I tell you something I thank God for you're channel after struggling with jobs I decided to stay in paint and the knowledge I got from you're chanell has help me to put food on my family's table THANKS AGAIN
Great video, can't wait for the demos in Melbourne! I'm currently expanding my skills in airless spraying, I've just picked up a hvlp and been enjoying the videos with the both of you on them too.
As always very useful information, if I get a chance I’ll post a pic of my sprayer I used 30 years ago called a Binks Super Bee, and a Binks model 700 gun with adjustable tips, on your FB page, believe it or not after about 20 years sitting in my shed I got it out and fired it up to spray my mothers house and it still worked ! All I had to do is replace the hose and gun, and become educated on the new tips which is how I found you last year so thank you !
Thanks for taking the time to do this video
you guys provide amazing information. Keep up the good work!!!
Great information about tips, thanks.
This was a really good video. Thank you both so very much.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great job guys
I would love to have it in print form for an easy reference.
Chris berry is the godfather of painters he's inspired alot of people
lol, thanks for the support Chris!
Great video guys. Very clear and easy to understand. I had a Milwaukee combo paint sprayer gun that was HVLP and standard. It's guard thread was of a different size and only accepted special Milwaukee guards
Very helpfull film , many thanks both of you
Fantastic job explaining guy's!!!
Thank you for letting us know🤙
Great video, thanks for the information.
Excellent video. Rock on!
Tips on tips. 😊
Really good content, guys, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing and being with us!
I like using a 210 on this skinny interior trim we have here in Texas and when spraying acrylic enamels like Duropoxy on Interior Doors/Cabs
Yes, thanks for sharing!
Chris & John, thank you for sharing all of these videos. They are super helpful to me as a DIY'er! Wish I had these videos back in college when I was doing some commercial painting as a summer job!
I'm planning to use an airless sprayer to paint some exterior doors this weekend. My sprayer came with a 515 tip. Would that work, or do I need to spend the extra $$ to get a 310 like you say you use?
Also, should I expect to need multiple coats, or just one, if I'm using a sprayer?
Thanks again!
Chris
thank u for what u do in here and cures for the help everyone can get from u and its free!!... when i ask to someone else wasn't tell me but u do thanks a lot....👍👍👍💪
Thanks for the support Eduardo!
@@Idahopainter you state that you don't really use 0.17 orifice and prefer 515 for spraying interior. However, does the manufacturers recommendation matter? Such as manufacturer document recommends orifice between 0.17-0.19. Is it necessary to follow recommendation or is it just technique over spec recommendation?
I appreciate your professional knowledge! It would be helpful, as a novice, to see more close ups of your tools, attachments and how they attach or what causes it to work. Keep the videos coming!
Good idea!
Buy a sprayer. Read the instructions and get familiar with it. You won't really need closeups. Harbor freight has a good beginner sprayer. Its what I use. I'm no way a pro but found this video extremely helpful as is.
Thank you so much I learn a lot .. would the purple tips work with titan guards with guide?
Thank you for all your videos - a lot of information here. That said, this video would have been much better shot close-up perhaps with the tips/guards on a white surface. I realize your videos are done at job sites and it's not always possible, but this kind of thing is helpful for us new folks to see these things up close. Again, thank you for all the information you share.
Always clean your tip lads!
Thanks for the great info!
I'm going to paint high gloss enamel on cabinet doors and frames. What size tip is best for this?
I have a question...what is a crappy paint and what is a good paint? Whsts a good paint interior and exterior for someone on a budget and whats a good one for someone who has no budget? thanks, I learned a lot about tips from y'all!!!
FYI, doubling the orfice size 4x's (roughly) the amount of paint, all else equal.
Great advice👍
Thank you for sharing!🤙
Is it just me or does anyone else get that damn accubrush commercial anytime I watch a painting video of any kind!
Good experience good explain.
Thank you for sharing and watching!🤙
Amazing Channel thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
Hi, great video and thanks. Do you have trigger control, for the amount of paint that come out,.or is on and off. So if I pulled the trigger slightly, then a little bit of paint come out, and if I pull the trigger all the way in more paint comes out. Cheers Jason.
Thanks guys, great advice and help. I purchased a Titan 1700 Pro with HEA gun I need a tip 0.026-0.035 because I need to paint my roof, this information I found in the tech sheet paint. Which tip do you recommend or I need to replace the gun or the tip guard. Any information would be very good. Thanks
Great vid! How do you know when you need a new seat?
I just bought a Titan 440 because of your videos. Looking to redeem the 4 free spray tips offer. Possibly doing a different color for trim and walls and also exterior. Which 4 tips do you recommend. I am interested in the hea tips. But I will buy whatever is best for what I'm doing. Which 4 do you recommend for what I'm doing.
I’ve always used 4-12 for trim
Nice video I'm new at this can you tell me more less how many square feet should I cover with one gallon of paint I'm painting the outside walls of my house and what tip and pressure should I use?
Got any good videos about what psi to set your sprayer at. Examples of too much pressure and not enough pressure ect.
Great advice and help. I have been painting for about 12 years and today just bought my first sprayer and of course it was a titan 440 , all because of your advice , but no pressure on you. Lol. The info you give out has been very helpful and just wanted to say thanks. I am getting 6 free tips and if you were me what tip sizes would you recommend for those six to have on the truck. Also can you use a hea tip for primers. Once again thanks.

hello great video.. however I am a painting newb...What tip size should I use with interior latex paint for painting wall and trim and thinning advice would be awesome...please help
I use Sherwin-Williams oil based promar 200 on all of the doors, baseboards, and trim. It calls for a .015-.017 @ 2000. I have always used .515 racx and had pretty good results but recently started getting into the fflp tips. The .314 runs it ok it just takes a bit longer. Even though it recommends .015-.017 would you still recommend a .310 or .510 with this?
VERY GOOD INFORMATION ...........I GIVE YOU FIVE STAR
A question about spray hose.. For my opinion original hoses which comes with sprayers are quite hard and has bending memory.. So I thought what if I would change it with professional high water pressure hose, its not cheap but its much softer, less bending memory.. its much easier to work with... If its holds high pressure from professional water pressure machines should fit for paints too, the dimensions are quite similar i think.. Please, share your opinion :)
I have a Grace X7 that I purchased this year. It has the orange guard. I'd eventually like to switch to the Grace style HEA tips but they will only work with the RAC X tips. How can I tell if I've got a RAC X, RAC V, or RAC 5 tip?
I bought a Graco magnum X5. And I painted my bedroom door with it. But for some reason the paint turned out to have an eggshell finish. Any suggestions what tip to use and pressure settings? Thank you.
What tip do u recommend to spray block filler on bare block walls
What kind of tip we can use for the trim baseboard and doors what is the number for
I'm painting a ceiling right now with a rental from HD and this thing sucks major azz!!! What tip will make my life easier and provide a nice even spray for the ceiling? Thanks!!
Would you use the same tip for a high solids primer as you would for the paint? (On wood trim and doors)
very informative great video
They didn't go over the black tip fit size compatibility. Is it possible to use the black Graco tips with the blue tip guard?
Do you use rac x tips for siding rather then hea? I tried the LP Graco 515 feels like a rac x 511 I’m not to convinced of those LP tips yet, the rac x seems so create less overspray then the titan hea?!?
I wonder if you guys can help me with a question, I am planning to spray ecobond that recommends a .017-31 size tip. My airless Graco claims to not support that tip size. do I thin the paint or go with the larger tip?
I bought an FFLP 310 based on this video (they said they used it for trim and gutters) but there was Zero chance Behr Ultra latex would go through that tip. Apparently FFLP tips are intended for lower viscosity paints. I'll be getting a 315 or 317 for the eaves, and not FFLP. Perhaps more expensive latex will spray thru a FFLP 310. Also, in all the videos I missed any emphasis on approximate torque to apply or actual torque specs. I ended up not tightening the whip to hose tight enough and it started to leak after a short time, pressure cutting both hose fittings, ruining both hoses :( That won't happen again, though I might over torque.
Did you use the LP 315? I was planning on using Ben Moore Aura. They recommend a .15 but specifically say don’t thin the paint more than 8oz per gallon. It’s still very thick.
@@r.guardia9107 i was new to airless, so after further research i determined that the FFLP310 was really only intended for oil based paints and stains, IDK but i bought a normal 315 and had no more issues. I was also told I shouldn't have to thin latex paints at all, IDK But that Behr Ultra was not going through that FFLP310. Of course the paint can label also specified at least a .015 tip.
You guys are like GOD to me...
just got a graco x7 and it came with a 515.. did a house with it and made a bit more of a mess than i wanted to.. do i really need to spend 90$ on a 310 is there no cheaper tips for occasional use i dont know why they dont supply a beginner pump like the x7 with the 310
would a 311 HEA give a good finish on trim?
Do you have a program that shows you how do you oil base
I bought a spray gun for the first time and I had big mess
My horse was too short I wasn't ready I used my new spray gun Magnum 7
ben moore superhide semi on panel doors can i use 311 or 313
I thought the paint type determine the orifice the second and third number on the tips?
I’m looking at spraying pro classic oil alkyd on cabinets with easy sand oil primer. What tip size do you recommend for doing the frames and boxes and then also the doors. Would you use the same tip or two different tip sizes?
Same 310
You always share such great information! How about writing a book?
That would be awesome! A distilled down pocket reference would be ideal. I love their videos, but sometimes when I want to refer back to something specific it's either difficult to remember which video it was in, or takes too long finding the right video and then finding the content again. I'm a novice and need to refer back regularly depending on which stage of a project I'm in or how long it's been since I last used those skills/knowledge.
Who knows - "Spray Paining for dummies" might be not such a bad idea.
Uh...confused. I assume just because a tip fits into a tip guard doesn't mean it will work. I have an HEA kit with the black Titan guard. I don't think my pump will put out the pressure needed for a fine finish tip. Don't you need more than 1600 psi for fine finish?
you should make a spread sheet on this .
You should make one.
You made it yet?
What Sherwin Williams (or other company if you like better)paint and sheen would you recommend for painting bathrooms? Thanks for all the great videos!

Paint Life TV thanks
As someone who is new to sprayers, what tip do you recommend to spray first coat of PVA Primer on 2,000 sqft new construction basement?

Thank you...Have you ever come across situations where you had to bump up the oriface size (second two numbers) because the paint was too thick? For instance Pro Classic? I have experienced spitting sometimes and making tip size bigger helped. I know you guys do not thin the paint.
Steve Grossman check the product data sheet.
The pds will have a recommended top size and pressure needed to get good atomization. Also sometimes thinning the paint is the best thing to do, it helps the pump atomize with lower pressure which equals less overspray and should get the same coverage as long as you don't overthink the paint or use the wrong thinner
Brandon Pratt Thanks...Don’t know about pds but the paint can for Pro Classic says tip size .017-.021 which is way bigger than Chris’s trim tip size fine finish 310...and Chris has said before he doesn’t thin and also has said info on the can is worthless...so what to do?
what should one use when spraying pva on ceilings/walls? 515, 517, 519?
check the label on the cans, some have specs for minimum tip size, usually a range (ex .017-.021)
Does anybody know what is the 315 tip for
My sprayer has set up for at least a year..anything special to do, or look out for? Its a little Graco Magnum (LTS15). Im a carpenter so dont need it often...mostly for gazebos and the like

You guys forgot the black graco tips will fit in to the titan housing
What paint with each tip. Thats the more important info left out of all tip videos. The graco chart says latex .015 so are you shooting thinned or oil for interior.
I want to use 210 or 310 for cabinets. Being new, I heard the 210 fflp is the best choice. But my Benjamin Moore paint say .11-.15. Does fflp change this?
FFLP sucks. Use TriTech FF
I have a question for you . Hope you can answer thanks in advance., I have a lot of old tops and they got gummy how do I clean it or this are trash now ?.
Try soaking them in Lacquer Thinner for about 2 to 3 hours. If it sprays well than all is well. If not then trash them.
which number tip do you recommend to paint cabinets
Not a pro at all but id guess a 310
3 for a small fan and 10 for less paint. Something like that.
I was wondering.. if the paint specification say to use a .015- 0.021 tip and I use a smaller tip eg fflp 210 what will happen?
I think according to the vid, that equals a .020 tip
What spray gun you prefer the titans oh Greco ?
Ricky Pagan I like the titan rx pro for the simple fact that it has interchangeable grips for different size hands and also comes with a 2 finger trigger as well as 4. I bought a graco x19 pump that came with a contractor gun and bought the titan rx pro immediately and never used the contractor series gun
At 6:58 when John talks about tip orifice size, the relationship of orifice diameter and spray volume is not linear. A .019 tip has a surface area that is 3.6x that of the surface area of a .010 tip. (rather than almost double)
Thanks for sharing!
🤗🤗
HEA tips are well worth the price, all I use now.
They do work great!
Can i use a 1221 tip on a Titan 540 ?

I know its a dumb question but ! greico or titan witch is better ?
DeMatos Cris depends on the sprayer you are looking at
Thanks guys! But I’m not sure what’s the differences between them! If you could help please!!!👏
DeMatos Cris Borth very good sprayers I have a Graco 490 amd 595 i like them both very much to me it’s a matter of zur deal if Graco is same as Titan i go for the Graco but if you can get a 440 titan for a sweeter deal then the Graco 490 I would Take the titan...
It's not so simple. One brand of pump may be more field-serviceable than another brand. One brand of gun may feel better in your hand than another. You may find one brand of tips more useful to you than another.
The second number, the size of the hole, is in thousands of an inch, right?
Phoenix yes it is
Cool, thank you.
We already know
“Don’t try it” lol
A lot of Stucco open walls 5:17
Just the tip
..
How come you don't do new construction any more?
sigor2011 many many reasons
Paint Life TV top two or 3 perhaps?
Main reason I dislike painting new construction is the drywall dust. No matter how much you clean it seems to always be there.
Lots of touch ups, and other trades banging door frames with ladders. Plus, the gc's expect you to paint a whole house in a day. Lots of competition on pricing.
So many puns
Man you look like John Cena
LOL
A purple people eater, lol.
GO AWAY lol
Too quick too hard to follow… not enough close up images or diagrams to further illustrate what you are attempting poorly to explain……bye bye
