About this listen

In this episode of the U Spray Podcast, Mitch and Toddy dive deep into spray tips — how to choose the right one for your job based on the surface, product, and conditions. The right tip can be the difference between a perfect finish and a costly redo.

They cover everything from understanding tip specs to avoiding runs and ensuring your work meets spec and warranty standards.

  • Understanding spray tip specs — what the numbers mean and how to read them.
  • Tips for choosing the right tip when using a new product.
  • Why surface type and environment (like outdoor conditions and moisture) affect your choice.
  • The problem with blanket recommendations for tip sizes — and why one size doesn’t fit all.
  • How incorrect film thickness can void your warranty.
  • Finding the sweet spot between too thin (poor coverage) and too thick (runs and waste).
  • Why you shouldn’t use fine finish tips for every job.
  • The importance of measuring film thickness when changing tips.
  • Practical advice for matching the right tip to each surface and coating type.
