  If your Graco Paint Sprayer's spray pattern has dripping, it could be due to several reasons: * The sprayer is moving too slowly for the material being used. Try moving the sprayer faster. * The sprayer is too close to the target surface. Move the sprayer away from the surface (10 inches). * You are holding the trigger while changing spray direction. Release the trigger when changing directions. * You are using the incorrect tip for the application of material. * The tip is worn or damaged. Replace the tip.
