What happens here

When using a sprayer extension, a common problem that occurs is 'spitting.' This happens when paint gets stuck inside the extension tube, and upon restarting the spray, this trapped paint is forcibly ejected onto the wall, creating unwanted drips or blobs. To avoid this issue, an accessory called a 'CleanShot' or similar anti-spit valve can be used. These accessories are designed to prevent paint from accumulating and being expelled in this manner, ensuring a consistent and clean start to your spray passes, reducing rework and improving overall finish quality.

Goal: Identify and prevent paint 'spitting' from sprayer extensions, a common problem where trapped paint is expelled onto the surface upon restarting the spray.
