Which Spray Tips Are Ideal For Interior Paint Jobs?

Small Projects
You can use a low-pressure spray tip for interior paint jobs. These tips can give you a fine finish despite using low-pressure and airless spray tips.
High-Viscosity Projects
If you are handling a project with textured materials and high levels of viscosity, choose heavy-duty spray tips. These will give you a professional finish and can overlap with the patterns better. It won’t look like cracks have formed and the finish will look even.
Light Shades Of Laquer
411 or more spray tips won’t work for light lacquers. Opt for 211 spray tips to accurately cover more ground. You don’t want to end up over-spraying and giving a blotchy look to your ceilings.
Painting The Whole House
If you are painting more than just your ceiling or a table, go for a larger spray tip. 515 spray tips are best for rooms and houses if you are painting the entire space. It would help not to have to change the spray tip for every surface you cover.
