Abstract: A method for reducing drift of sprayed droplets includes storing a fluid to be sprayed in a reservoir carried by a vehicle, and providing a metered flow of the first fluid to a spray nozzle, from where the fluid is injected into an atmosphere as sprayed droplets. A drift of the sprayed droplets is reduced by causing the sprayed droplets to absorb moisture from the atmosphere after they are sprayed from the spray nozzle, such that a mass of each of the sprayed droplets increases sufficiently to reduce a drift of the respective sprayed droplet in the wind.

Abstract: A disposable cartridge assembly for use with a paint spray gun is disclosed, being made out of an inexpensive material, such as plastic, wherein the paint flows into the cartridge assembly and is sucked out of the tip of the cartridge assembly by the force of pressurized air flowing around the cartridge assembly and past the cartridge assembly fluid spray tip opening, thereby atomizing the paint, allowing for an even application of the paint onto a working surface, such as an automobile body. The inexpensive material allows the cartridge to be disposed of after use, rather than cleaned. Further, keeping the paint within the cartridge assembly and away from any inner workings of the paint spray gun reduces or eliminates the need to clean the spray gun after use.
