What happens here

Graco's RAC X LP (Low Pressure) tips are also low-pressure tips, similar in concept to HEA tips. However, the speaker found that even these low-pressure tips resulted in an 'eggshelly' finish, indicating poor atomization and not producing a glass-like quality. He cautions that low-pressure tips generally produce larger droplets, which are more likely to fall as wet overspray on unwanted surfaces, leading to cleanup issues.

Goal: Understand the limitations of low-pressure tips like Graco RAC X LP for achieving fine finishes.
