What happens here

Before loading paint into an HVLP sprayer, it's crucial to strain the paint to remove any impurities, dried paint particles, or debris that could clog the sprayer or cause imperfections in the finish. The video demonstrates this by pouring black paint from a bucket through a medium cone filter, supported by an Apollo cone filter stand, into the sprayer's cup. This process ensures a smooth, consistent paint flow for optimal results.

Goal: Strain paint to prevent clogs and ensure a smooth finish
