I dont know that id be able to justify the cost and (relative) inconvenience of an AAA sprayer to anyone who isnt doing exclusively shop sprayed wood coatings. If youre a contractor looking to spray out trim on a residential or commercial project, id just pick up a titan 440 with some graco 308 tips and call it a day.
Do airless sprayers spray thicker paint better than air assisted airless? I'm trying to spray Benjamin moore command. I have an anest iwata 17:1 and my tips keep clogging while painting. I have a new gun filter. Ive used a 513, 515 and 419 tip... 45 psi on the fluid and 15psi on the air side and i can never get these perfect pattern sprays i see everyone getting on RU-vid. It's very frustrating. After 1 pass or so my spray pattern gets distorted like it's clogging. I see everyone spraying right out the can with no issues but me... No way. If i lower the fluid pressure it really clogs so it seems to like higher pressure.
So when you say "edges" are those what some guys call the "tails?" Because at least in the video, I can't see any tail at all even without air assist. What kind of sprayer do you have? I'm impressed.
yes, a tail is the result of sufficient pressurization to properly atomize all the fluid being sprayed. Just investigating the advantages of airless myself to see if its worth the extra cost for speed enamel applications on steel. I think its a sexy tool but not required to achieve the same task. There is an advantage to certain applications on very high quality standard products where a premium product needs to be achieved. I think its more of a shop tool myself.
A fine finish tip will typically be a bit better break up and is usually only available as a flat tip, reverse tips are convenient because they allow for quick cleaning of any plugs. Hope this helps.
