Large spray tip sets are for water-based paint (latex paint); small spray tip sets are for oil-based paint.
PAINT PREPARATION:
Most oil-based paint should be thinned with thinner before
spraying. (Figure A) It might include dry paint particles which could
block the spray tip. Strain the paint after thinning. Strain the paint
through a fine metal sieve or nylon stocking to remove particles or
fibers which could block the spray gun. (Figure B) When spraying
lumps, no spray or thick spray pattern, it might be necessary to
thin paint to achieve optimum spray pattern.
