the paint is correct. This also aids comparison with existing paint work.
Applying pressure to the trigger will start the spraying. To obtain a greater flow of paint, turn the fluid output con-
trol anti-clockwise. Turning it clockwise will reduce the paint flow. Be aware that adjusting this control also
altered the spray pattern. A poor pattern will concentrate the spray towards the centre of the pattern, giving a
lumpy blotchy finish. A good pattern will evenly distribute the paint throughout the pattern.
To get best results, keep your spraygun level and at 90
o
to the surface at all times (see
Fig.1
). Keep the nozzle
200-300mm from the surface and spray evenly from side to side or up and down. Spraying at an angle will lead
to paint runs. Use smooth, even strokes. When spraygun large areas, use a criss-cross pattern as shown in
Fig.

.
Never start or stop the gun whilst it is aimed at the workpiece. Too slow a pass will give a thin and patchy coat
whilst too slow a pass will result in a heavy coat. Apply one coat at a time and observe manufacturers drying
times before applying the next coat or finishing/polishing. Do not tip the gun more that 45
o
.
