What Size Tip Is Best For Interior Door Spraying?

The best spray tip for spraying interior doors with an airless sprayer is a 310 or 312 tip, which produces a 6-inch spray fan to coat doors quickly and less overlapping than using a smaller tip. The pressure volume on each sprayer determines which size tips can be used, and this information can be found in the sprayer manual. For narrow surfaces like fences, cabinets, trims, doors, and staircase railings, use sprayer tips with narrow fan widths (such as 3xx, 2xx, and 1xxx). When painting doors, a 311 or 313 tip size is ideal, as they are perfect for latex paint on small to medium-sized surfaces.

Spray tips come in a wide range of sizes, and selecting the right tip depends on the paint or stain being used and the surface to be sprayed. It is important to ensure that the tip’s hole size does not exceed the maximum capacity of your sprayer. Paint sprayer tips all have size numbers that denote two specific factors – fan width and orifice size. Understanding what each digit means is key to choosing the right tip for the job.

When spraying interior trim and doors, it is recommended to use a smaller tip size, like a 310 or similar, as the minimum tip size for interior paint is a.013 tip opening. A 415 tip at 2k pressure is recommended, and sanding the edges before spraying a door can help ensure proper drying.

For hard-to-reach areas, a narrow 6- (15 cm) or 8-inch (20 cm) spray fan is typically the best choice. Magnum tip extensions (optional) can be used for hard-to-reach areas.
