When talking about paint filters there are two terms that are thrown around quite often that are important to understand – Mesh and Micron. Both terms can ultimately do the job in telling you how fine a paint filter is; however both terms are quite different from one another.

Although paint spray tips are made out of the highest grade of tungsten carbide inserts – the most abrasive-resistant material available – all spray tips will wear with normal use and should be replaced promptly. All coatings contain solids that are abrasive -- some more than others. Using a worn tip can cost you hundreds of dollars in wasted paint and labor; because when a tip wears the size of the tip orifice increases and the fan width decreases. This forces more passes to cover the surface, more labor, increased overspray, and a substantial waste of paint.
