    AIRLESS SPRAY PAINTING SUGGESTIONS A good airless spray application is the result of many factors. Surface preparation, which includes cleaning and degreasing, priming, material compatibility, quality finish product and correct application technique. All are important to the finished results.

    AIRLESS SPRAY PAINTING SUGGESTIONS FIG. 4 FIG. 3 FIG. 5 When spraying you may encounter a problem with the spray tip plugging up which will either cause the spray fan to spit, splatter, finger or just shut off completely. The most likely cause is the spray tip has partially or completely plugged up with foreign debris from the paint.

    7. Place siphon hose assembly into the correct cleaning solution. If unsure of which solution to use, refer to the paint manufacturers clean- ing instructions on the paint container.
