What happens here

After priming with water, carefully remove the intake tube from the water bucket and place it directly into a thoroughly stirred can of trim paint (preferably placed inside a larger 5-gallon bucket for stability to prevent spills). Turn the sprayer on and maintain a low-pressure setting. Let the sprayer draw paint into the system and continue to direct the prime hose into the waste bucket until paint, free of any water, emerges. Once paint flows consistently, flick the prime/spray switch to the 'spray' position.

Goal: Once the sprayer is flushed with water, switch to paint, ensuring it's thoroughly stirred, and prime the system until paint flows smoothly from the prime hose.
