To obtain the best results, keep your airbrush level and parallel to the surface
at all times. Keep the nozzle 23 - 30 cm from the surface and spray evenly from
side to side or up and down.
The airbrush should be perpendicular to the surface being covered and
moved parallel to it. The stroke is best started before the trigger is pulled and
likewise released before the stroke is ended. This gives accurate control of the
airbrush and material.
Do not spray at an angle as this will lead to paint runs on the surface. Try to use
smooth and even strokes.
When spraying large areas, using a cris-cross pattern as shown.
Try to avoid starting or stopping the airbrush while it is aimed at the surface to
be sprayed. Evenly control the speed of movement of the airbrush.
• Moving quickly over the surface will give a thin coat and slow
movement will give a heavy coat.
• Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you
observe the manufacturers drying time recommendations before
applying a second coat.
• When spraying small areas, keep the output control on a low setting
as this will avoid using too much paint and prevent overspray.
• Where possible, avoid stopping and starting when spraying an
object. This can lead to too much or not enough paint being
applied.
• The material deposited should always be even and wet. Lap each
stroke over the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish.
• To ensure the edges are covered, start spraying just to the side of the
area being sprayed and do not stop until the spray has gone past
the opposite edge.
• Damage to the needle or nozzle, or any of the air ports, will result in a
faulty spray pattern. Take care when cleaning or assembling these
components.
