Fuzzy Spray Pattern

[Black_Owl_Customs]

Hello all, I'm new here and very grateful to be in the company of such a great bunch!

I'm using a Devilbis Finishline 3 and for some reason I'm getting a fuzzy texture on my coats with a 1.3 tip. I've cleaned the crap out of this thing. I clean it every time I paint, I even tried a brand new fluid tip (1.8), still nothing.

Anyone have any ideas?

hopefully you are spraying primer throught the 1.8 and not basecoat or clearcoat correct?

im logging off soon so

If you are spaying primer throught the 1.8 then thats correct, i would check the tip for clogging or see if you
have any type of damage on the fluid needle. If you dont see anything wrong with either, i would play around
with the settings until you straighten it out

If you are spraying bc/cc with a 1.8 than you need a smaller tip, i dont think there is a 1.4 for the finishline 3 so
you will either need a 1.3 or a 1.5 preferrably a 1.3.

What products are you spraying?

Is this problem happening from the time you start or does it begin a short time later?

Do you have trigger adjusted so that it come almost all the way back against the handle?

The problem showed up about a week ago. Before that it had been spraying flawless coats with the same gun settings. I had been spraying primer with a 1.8, and a 1.3 for base coats and clears. I just replaced all the seals too and cleaned it to new, which I do anytime I paint.

The only thing I can think of, is I recently soaked the entire gun in thinner after I found a bunch of paint gunk between the baffle and the fluid tip. I dont know how it got there but it looked like it was there for a while. My guess is that the problem is related to air flow. I just cant figure out where.
