Humid-day finish issues (orange peel, sag, slow flash)
Paint defects that appear or worsen on high-humidity days. Resolved by humidity conditioning + flash-time extension.
Severity: high
Waterborne basecoat sag / runs
Waterborne basecoat sagging or running on vertical surfaces. Tied to airflow velocity, humidity, and blower angle in modern waterborne workflows.
Severity: high
Static buildup in dry climates (arid winter shops)
Static electricity attracting overspray and airborne particulate to substrate, causing inclusions. Worse in low-humidity climates and winter.
Severity: medium
Summer flash time too short (paint drying too fast)
Mid-coat solvent flashing off too quickly in hot ambient. Causes mottling, dry spray, and metallic-orientation defects.
Severity: medium
Show your answers
Is the problem a visible defect in the paint finish — dust nibs, orange peel, fisheyes, runs, or other surface defects?
→ Yes
Does the booth refuse to start, or shut itself down on its own during operation?
→ No
Is overspray clearly escaping the booth into the surrounding shop area?
→ No
Is the booth's pressure reading abnormal — manometer reading too high or too low, or staff notice the booth is pushing/pulling differently than normal?
→ No
Is the HMI or booth controls displaying a specific fault code or alarm (VFD fault, gas pressure, flame failure, intake motor feedback, filter pressure)?
→ No
Does the problem track with the WEATHER or season — worse on humid days, hot afternoons, or cold/dry winter mornings?
→ Yes
Is it specifically the FILTERS — loading too fast or slow, uneven, or a filter-bank pressure alarm (rather than weak airflow or a dead fan)?
→ No
