Spray Tips – Quality Finishing Jobs

You may have spent a fortune on your airless or air assisted paint spray equipment, but without quality accessories, you won’t get the professional results you should. Spray tips are the perfect example of a sprayer accessory that can make all the difference in your work depending on the quality you opt for and whether you replace them as needed. KM Coating, Inc. carries a large selection of different types of spray tips to ensure that you have the right tip for the job whether you’re applying heavy or lightweight product with airless and air assisted airless equipment.

Spray TipsFor airless paint spray equipment, KM Coating offers flat tips for standard or industrial use and even has tips that deliver a high quality spray for a superfine finish result. Flat tips are inexpensive and come in an array of sizes. Maintaining your gear is essential and even the highest quality spray tips can become clogged, but it’s not always convenient to stop what you’re doing to clean a tip before you finish a project. That’s why KM Coating also carries reversible tips for clearing blocks easily and quickly.

Air assisted airless equipment is a popular choice for many professionals because of the advantages of less bounce-back and a more fine finish spray coating. You’ll be pleased to see that KM Coating carries a wide variety of spray tips including Kremlin air assisted airless tips, Graco pin spray tips and Binks fine finish sprayer tips, just to name a few.

You can count on all the spray tips you get from KM Coating to be made with durable materials such as tungsten carbide for enhanced life and erosion resistance. Even so, all spray tips including high-quality ones reach a point of needing replacement. KM Coating is there for you with the spray tips and other paint sprayer accessories to keep your equipment up and running and consistently delivering professional results.

Paint Application Brush vs Spray

Brush or spray? Two tools for the very same job, right? Which one should you choose? In reality, these tools shouldn’t be considered competing options for the same job. Instead, a paint brush and a paint sprayer are complementary, both deserving of a spot in your painting toolbox.

Paint Application Brush vs SprayConsider the paint brush. It’s an excellent paint applicator that provides superb control and paint adhesion. For detail work, it’s clearly the best option. Despite this, painting by hand can be a slow and laborious process, as it not only takes a long time to cover your desired area, but you often need more than one coat of paint. When you are looking to paint a large area, or are simply looking to speed up paint application, a paint sprayer is ideal for you. You can apply paint rapidly, and you only need a single coat. And although you use more paint than painting with a brush, the rapid application means overall cost savings because you can finish a job in hours that might have taken days. It’s also worth noting that a paint sprayer gives you a fine finish, one without brush strokes that can often be seen in traditional painting.

Are you ready to spray, yet? Well, if so, KM Coating can provide you with the spray paint equipment and accessories you need. Check out our supply of high pressure hose for your Graco airless paint sprayer or Wagner airless paint sprayer.

Airless Spray Equipment

Airless spray equipment has several advantages when used correctly over traditional methods of brushes and rollers. Not only will it saves you time and money but airless spray equipment will help to ensure a high quality finish, regardless of the size of job or the type of spray coating you are applying.

Of course, even with specialized efficient equipment such as airless sprayers, terrific results also depend on mastering technique. Even though the equipment can do its part to help control overspray, holding the sprayer at the optimal distance from the surface is essential. If you hold it too close, too much product will be applied in a small area and holding it too far away requires to many passes to completely coat the surface with material. Either way, you are wasting product and reducing the efficiency of your airless spray equipment.

There are other elements that will affect your technique and how well your jobs turn out. For instance, in addition to holding the sprayer the proper distance, you also need to keep it at a 90 degree angle to the surface to avoid uneven coverage and product waste. You need to time when you squeeze the trigger, starting to move the gun a split second before you trigger. Also, with airless equipment, more is not necessarily better. Crank the pressure control down as low as possible without creating “tails.” Not only will you get a more even and consistent finish, but using low pressure instead of maxing it out will reduce wear on the equipment and accessories.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to completely eliminate wear on hose, tips, couplings, filters and other elements.
