Why is my Kobalt SGY-AIR70TZ causing excessive overspray?
- B
  Brandon ObrienAug 14, 2025
  Excessive overspray from your Kobalt Paint Sprayer is often due to several factors. First, the atomization pressure might be too high; try reducing it. Second, you might be holding the sprayer too far from the surface; adjust to the proper distance. Finally, improper stroking, such as arcing or moving the gun too fast, can cause overspray; move at a moderate pace, keeping the sprayer parallel to the surface.

  If you notice air leaking from the air cap of your Kobalt Paint Sprayer without pulling the trigger, it could be due to several issues. The air valve stem might be sticking, so try lubricating it. There could be contamination on the air valve or seat, requiring cleaning. The air valve or seat may be worn or damaged, necessitating replacement. A broken air valve spring would also need replacing, as would a bent valve stem.
