Airless Spray gun spitting or not shutting off completley possible causes.

Paint spitting from your airless spray gun when you pull the trigger or release the airless spray gun trigger can be annoying and ruin your airless paint spray job.

Spitting airless paint spray guns can be caused by several common issues.

If your airless spray pump primes and pressurises but nothing happens when the trigger is pulled, and it is not the airless spray tip that is blocked, the actual spray gun hand piece could be where the problem is located.

The first thing that needs to be done is relieve all pressure from the airless spray system by opening the prime spray or bypass valve and turn the machine off.

Replacement parts and accessories for airless paint sprayers can be expensive and locating the right parts and accessories can be difficult especially if your airless machine is an older model.

Properly identifying the brand and model of your airless spray machine is the only way to begin searching for the correct parts. Occasionally parts location can be further complicated by different brand airless spray gun hand pieces or airless spray tips being fitted. Many airless paint spray units are covered in paint which can make it even harder to identify the make and model.

Airless spray tip blocking is annoying and can ruin the spray painted surface with spatter or heavy lines of paint. There are a few common reasons causing airless spray tips to block and one of the most common is a problem with filtration of the paint within the airless spray equipment.

Airless spray paint fan pattern tailing.

Tailing when spraying with an airless paint sprayer is a phenomena where two distinct heavier lines of paint appear on either edge of the paint spray pattern. Inside these heavier edge lines there may be no paint or very little paint before the spray pattern reappears and often becomes heavier towards the center.

Tailing with airless paint sprayers can be the result of several different factors or a combination of factors.
