What happens here

This video details how to troubleshoot and resolve common paint sprayer issues like 'spits' and 'runs' that affect finish quality. It covers identifying a mechanical cause (improper tip seating) and demonstrates a non-sanding method for removing dried paint imperfections using specialized swabs and denatured alcohol.
