When to Choose 100 Mesh
Select 100-mesh when spraying lower-viscosity coatings. For thicker paints or primers, a coarser filter (e.g., 60-mesh) may allow better flow while still protecting the tip.
- Use 100-mesh for stain/lacquer to minimize micro-debris
- If experiencing frequent clogs with heavy paints, step to a lower mesh number
- Keep spare filters on hand to swap during long spray sessions
Care & Maintenance
- Flush gun after each use; remove the filter and rinse until water/solvent runs clear
- Inspect for collapsed mesh or solder joint damage; replace if distorted
- Match filter mesh to material; don’t over-restrict heavy coatings
Frequently Asked Questions
The 287033 (100-mesh) is specified for Contractor PC, Contractor II, FTx, and FTx II guns. SG-series guns typically use different filter part numbers; confirm your gun model and consult its parts list before ordering.
Use 100-mesh for thinner materials such as stains, lacquers, and thin enamels. For heavier paints/primers, consider a coarser mesh to maintain flow.
Replace when the mesh appears torn, collapsed, or permanently clogged. Under normal use, many pros replace filters every few jobs to ensure consistent spray quality.
Not necessarily. A mesh that’s too fine for the material can restrict flow and cause pressure fluctuations. Match mesh size to material viscosity for best results.
Always strain coatings before filling, keep the gun filter clean, use the correct spray tip size, and maintain recommended hose/filter combinations from Graco.
