SPRAY TECHNIQUE
4
It is important to “trigger” the gun after the gun movement
(arm movement) has started and release trigger (shut
gun off) before gun movement ends. Gun movement is
always longer than actual paint (spray) stroke. In that
manner, even blending and uniform paint coat thickness
is achieved over the entire surface. When the gun is in
motion as the trigger is pulled, it deposits an even amount
of paint.
Overlap the previous pass by 1/3 the width of the spray
pattern. Aim at the bottom of the previous pass.
Spray with uniform strokes from left to right and from right to
left, holding same stroke speed, distance, lapping and triggering
as uniform as possible.
Adjust pressure control knob so that the paint is completely atomize from the spray gun. Insufficient pressure will result in
“tailing.” Too much pressure will result in excess fog and over-spray, excessive tip wear & increased sprayer wear & tear.
• Always use the lowest pressure possible to obtain
desirable results.
• Test spray pattern on a piece of cardboard or other surface.
• “Inside” and “outside” corners can be sprayer.
• Aim the spray gun toward the center of the corner. The
spray pattern is divided in half, and the edges of the spray
pattern on both walls are the same.
