So, here's where this get's confusing on a very fundamental level... I purchased the ProX17. It came with an orange tip protector, leading me to believe, that's the only kind of tip(s) the ProX17 can use. This video explains what the tips themselves are used for....which was very helpful. It does NOT explain what machines they can be used with, which I find absolutely mind-boggling, given the details of operating these sprayers are *extremely* important, or you'll have a epic mess on your hands. And, the manual that is given with these are borderline useless, and that's being nice about it. The sprayer itself seems to be of a good quality (time will tell). *So, here's the question: Can I purchase a lower pressure (blue) tip guard, or any other color tip guard/tip for that matter, and use it in place of the orange tip guard/tip???* When painting indoors and trying to control the overspray, I found that I had to use an excessive amount of spray force to get rid of the "border" stripes on sray-fan. I'm assuming that meant I should get the appropriate tip guard/tip for low-pressure spraying. I just need to know if the low pressure tip-guard/tips will fit, and work with the ProX17. That should've been the first piece of info mentioned in this video. "What models accept which accessories". Or, the customer runs the risk of buying an expensive tip guard/tip, only to learn it won't fit their machine. I'm hoping the answer it all the tips will fit, as long as you have the appropriate tip-guard.
