    Abstract: A reversible paint spray tip, including a barrel portion configured to be inserted into a barrel bore of a tip holder, and a tip flag portion attached to the barrel portion and positioned generally transversely of the barrel portion. The tip flag portion includes a handle portion defining a handle axis, integrally formed with a first end of the tip flag portion, and an alignment portion defining an alignment axis, integrally formed with a second and opposing end of the tip flag portion. The handle axis and the alignment axis are non-collinear and intersect at an angle relative to the handle portion to prevent interference of the handle portion and barrel portion with one or more guards of the tip holder when the alignment portion is positioned in the barrel bore while in an alignment position.
