Airless Spraying The Right Way? Painting with an airless sprayer

What happens here

When performing a spray pass, aim to keep the trigger of the paint gun continuously pulled for the entire duration of the pass, rather than releasing and re-pulling it. Each time the trigger is released and pulled again, there is a risk of the gun 'spitting' paint, creating undesirable blotches or an uneven finish. Minimizing trigger releases ensures a smoother, more consistent flow of paint and reduces the chances of defects. If the gun does spit, immediately reverse the spray tip to clear any blockage, then resume spraying.

Goal: Keep the spray gun trigger pulled continuously during a pass to avoid spits and maintain a consistent paint flow.

you'll see those so we have a logical start and stop you know from this window you know all the way to this um piece of batting board right here and I'm going to just utilize that is my logical starting to stop and this was what it looks like and I like to just you know not pull the trigger or actually I like to keep the trigger pulled and not release the trigger when I'm spraying runs like this the least amount of times you release the trigger the least opportunity for spits I've already gone down we'll hear the cardboard shield and sprayed the bottom so I'm going to do my fill in getting a spit and if you get a spit just reverse your tip clear it move on
