How to Specify Paint Strainer & Spray Gun Filter Screen

Fit: Cup inlet, gun handle or pump suction format.
Material: Stainless steel survives solvent cleaning that destroys nylon.
Materials

Fitting & Care
Clean screens in the gun-wash solvent immediately after spraying.
Match screen mesh to tip size — a finer screen than the tip needs only clogs faster.
Common Mistakes
Using a fine gun filter for high-build primer, which starves the gun.
Leaving paint to dry in the screen.
When Paint Strainer & Spray Gun Filter Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not a substitute for straining paint into the cup through a disposable cone strainer when the coating is lumpy.
