    fine finish tips /w airless

    I have 20' of cabinets to paint and was thinking of trying a fine finish tip with my airless. Has anyone used this combo?
    Any tips, recommendations and opinions are welcome.
    I want to use SW pro classic acrylic.
    Thanks, Dan

    Yes....

    I used to try and paint cabinets with a siphon gun or HVLP and I always use alkyd paint. Trouble was to get a good flow I had to thin it too much. This caused all kinds of runs and sags. The airless gun and fine finish tip will allow you to apply good wet coats because you're only going to thin the paint about 5%. The results are fantastic. I painted many shutter doors a few years ago and and they look like plastic. It's a great combo. For me, it's the only way to paint furniture.
