What is a Mesh filter used for in an airless spray gun?

Filters in paint sprayer guns help reduce tip plugging, providing a higher-quality finish by eliminating unwanted particles from plugging the tip or internal components of the spray gun.

A higher mesh size number indicates that it strains smaller particles.

Use 60 mesh for materials such as primer and latex paint. Use 100 mesh for thinner materials such as stain and lacquer
