Ensure that the area in which you will be spraying is clean and dust free. To
obtain best results, it is vital that the surface to be sprayed is well prepared. It
must be clean and dry, and free from dust, dirt oil or grease. Mask areas not to
be sprayed and cover adjacent equipment to protect from overspray.
Check the paint manufacturer’s instructions for any special surface
preparation required.
REMEMBER - TIME SPENT PREPARING SAVES TIME SPENT FINISHING.
PAINT THINNING
Paint thinning is particularly important when spraying. Many paints are
supplied ready for brush application and need to be sufficiently diluted for
spraying purposes. Always follow the paint manufacturers instructions. If in
doubt, always consult the paint manufacturer.
The following information can be used as a rough guide.
• Water based paints (emulsions) 10-20% water.
• Oil based paints (gloss) up to 10% thinners.
• Cellulose paints up to 50% cellulose thinners.
If in any doubt, contact the paint manufacturer.
• DO NOT OVERFILL PAINT CONTAINER - never more than three
quarters full.
WARNING: NEVER SPRAY PAINT UNLESS YOU ARE WEARING SUITABLE,
APPROVED RESPIRATORY AND EYE PROTECTION.
