    What to do if my Finex FX200 is spitting?
    • T
      triosAug 4, 2025
      Spitting in your Finex Paint Sprayer can occur if air is getting into the paint stream. This may happen if: * The cup is almost empty, so fill the cup. * The needle packing is dry, so loosen the packing seat and put a few drops of machine oil on the packing, then retighten the seat. * The fluid nozzle is too loose, so tighten it. * There is dried material between the nozzle and gun body, so clean the nozzle and front of the gun. * The needle seal is damaged, so replace the seal.

    Why won't my Finex FX200 Paint Sprayer spray?
    • R
      Ronald StevensAug 8, 2025
      Your Finex Paint Sprayer might not spray due to several reasons: * There is no air pressure at the gun, so check the air supply and air lines. * The cup is empty, so fill the cup. * The fluid adjustment knob is turned too far to the right, so adjust the knob to the left. * The fluid is too thick for gravity feed, so thin the material.

    • M
      michaelrobinsonAug 17, 2025

    Why does my Finex Paint Sprayer leave a thin, coarse finish?
    • L
      Lisa KelleyAug 21, 2025
      A thin, coarse finish with your Finex Paint Sprayer can result from: * Holding the gun too far from the surface, so hold the gun about 6-8 inches (150-200 mm) from the surface. * The atomization air pressure being set too high, so reduce the air pressure.

    Why is my Finex Paint Sprayer leaving a thick, dimpled finish?
    • S
      Samantha GarciaAug 26, 2025
      A thick, dimpled finish (resembling orange peel) when using your Finex Paint Sprayer is likely because the gun is held too close to the surface. Hold the gun about 6-8 inches (150-200 mm) from the surface.
