Why does my KRAUSE & BECKER 68001 Paint Sprayer have inconsistent paint flow, blobs and splatters?
- L
  Leah FergusonJul 29, 2025
  Inconsistent paint flow, blobs, and splatters from your KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer can stem from a couple of things. First, the spray tip might be clogged, or the fluid filter could be damaged or clogged. Try cleaning, adjusting, or replacing these parts. Another potential cause is contaminated paint. In this case, remove the paint and filter it before use.

What to do if the paint sags or runs when using KRAUSE & BECKER 68001 Paint Sprayer?
- R
  Robert MartinezAug 3, 2025
  Paint sags or runs typically occur for a few reasons. It could be that the paint is too thin, so recheck the paint viscosity and add unmixed paint to thicken the mixture. Also, applying paint too thickly can cause this issue, so apply thinner coats and allow the paint to get tacky between coats. If the paint gun is too close to the work surface, move it further back. Make sure to keep the spray gun moving during painting, as hesitations can cause sags or runs. Be mindful of overlapping each spray stroke; while overlap ensures even coverage, excessive overlapping adds coat thickness.

How to fix bumpy or orange peel texture with KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer?
- J

  A bumpy or orange peel texture on your painted surface when using a KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer can occur for several reasons. The paint may be applied too thickly, so make sure it's thinned properly before spraying. You might also have an incorrect paint volume, so adjust the Fluid Control Knob. Insufficient air pressure is another possibility; in this case, adjust the Air Regulator and Air Adjustment Valve. Finally, if the paint gun is too far from the surface during spraying, hold it closer.

Why does my KRAUSE & BECKER 68001 leave spots with dark centers?
- K
  Kathleen WalkerAug 11, 2025
  Spots with dark centers on the painted surface when using your KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer usually indicate contamination. This could be due to dust or dirt on the surface, so clean the surface with compressed air or a tack cloth before painting. It could also be from insufficient sanding, so sand the wood to a sufficiently fine grit before painting. Another cause might be raised grain; wipe the wood surface with thinner to raise the grain, then sand with a fine grit to knock off any 'hairs'.

What causes spots with light centers (fish eyes) when using KRAUSE & BECKER 68001 Paint Sprayer?
- A
  Alison FrancoAug 15, 2025
  If you notice spots with light centers (fish eyes) when using your KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer, it could be due to a few reasons. The paint mixture might be too thin, so add undiluted paint to thicken it. It could also be due to an improper primer or incompatible surface; check the manufacturer’s recommendations for primer or compatible surfaces. Another potential cause is surface contamination; clean the surface thoroughly with thinner before applying paint.

Why is the color blotchy or uneven after using my KRAUSE & BECKER 68001?
- C
  Charles Hurley Jr.Aug 19, 2025
  A blotchy surface (blushing) or uneven color with your KRAUSE & BECKER Paint Sprayer can be caused by a few things. The paint might be drying too slowly, so use less thinner or add a drier. It could also be due to uneven paint application, so start each stroke off the work material and overlap each stroke consistently. Another possibility is that the work material absorbs paint unevenly; use a conditioner or sealer coat before applying the finish coat.
