What happens here

To diagnose a worn spray tip, pay attention to the sound the sprayer makes. A new tip provides a smooth, consistent spray. As the tip wears, the sound will change, often developing a loud 'hissing' sound due to increased orifice size and erratic atomization. Additionally, you may start to feel more paint 'fall-out' or overspray landing on you, especially when spraying overhead.
