A poor spray pattern from your Graco Paint Sprayer may be due to a plugged air cap horn hole and/or fluid nozzle. Soak the air cap and/or fluid nozzle in solvent. Clean the air cap horn holes with a non-metallic item to avoid permanent damage.
What to do if Graco HVLP-Turbine Gun Paint Sprayer fluid leaks after releasing the trigger?
If fluid leaks at the fluid nozzle of your Graco Paint Sprayer after releasing the trigger, it indicates that the needle is not seating properly in the fluid nozzle. Check for a loose fluid nozzle or a bent nozzle or needle. Tighten the nozzle or replace parts as needed.
How to fix orange peel finish on Graco HVLP-Turbine Gun Paint Sprayer?
If you notice an orange peel finish (the paint surface is not smooth) when using your Graco Paint Sprayer, several factors could be at play. The paint droplets might be too large; maintain the proper spraying distance, ensure the turbine air filters are clean, avoid using an air hose that's too long, and reduce the fluid flow. Alternatively, the paint droplets may be drying too quickly; avoid direct sunlight and use a slower evaporating solvent or a retarder in warmer temperatures. Lastly, cold weather can cause this issue; keep both the fluid and the object being sprayed as close to room temperature as possible, as cold surfaces can thicken the paint.
What to do if my Graco HVLP-Turbine Gun is causing runs and sags?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer is causing runs and sags, it means you're applying too much paint per pass for the drying conditions. To fix this: move the gun faster, decrease the fluid flow, maintain the proper spraying distance, and reduce the amount of thinner or use a faster-drying thinner.
Why does my Graco HVLP-Turbine Gun cause solvent pops or bubbles?
Solvent pops or bubbles occur because the sprayed surface is drying before the solvent gas can be released. To resolve this issue, apply the fluid in lighter coats to allow for proper evaporation, use the recommended thinners, and follow the solutions for an orange peel finish caused by paint droplets that are too large.
Why is my Graco Paint Sprayer causing clear coatings to appear milky?
If clear coatings appear milky (blushing) when using your Graco Paint Sprayer, it's likely due to moisture condensation trapped in the lacquer during hot, humid conditions. To address this: * Allow the turbine to warm up for a few minutes before spraying. * Store lacquer off concrete floors, at room temperature. * Apply lighter coats and allow for proper drying time. * Use a slower evaporating solvent or retarder. * Avoid spraying in windy conditions.
What causes fish eyes when using a Graco HVLP-Turbine Gun Paint Sprayer?
Fish eyes, or small pools on the painted surface that won't fill, are caused by silicone contamination from lubricants, grease, polish, or waxes on the surface being sprayed. To fix this, clean all parts with a cleaning solvent, using a solvent rag and a clean rag to wipe with, replacing rags as needed. If the problem persists, use a fish eye eliminator.
