-
Thin your paint: Thick paint can cause the sprayer to spit and splatter. Use a viscosity cup to measure the thickness of your paint and thin it according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
-
Strain your paint: Use a paint strainer to remove any clumps or debris from your paint before pouring it into the sprayer. This will help prevent clogs in the spray tip, which can cause spitting.
-
Use the correct tip size: Make sure you are using the correct spray tip for the type of paint you are using and the surface you are painting. A tip that is too small can cause spitting and a tip that is too large can cause uneven coverage.
-
Adjust the pressure: Adjust the pressure on your sprayer to the lowest setting that allows you to achieve the desired spray pattern. Too much pressure can cause spitting.
-
Clean your sprayer regularly: Clean your sprayer thoroughly after each use to prevent buildup of paint and debris that can cause spitting.
-
Practice good technique: Keep the sprayer at a consistent distance from the surface being painted and move in a smooth, even motion. Avoid stopping and starting or moving too quickly, which can cause spitting.
