Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in
conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please
contact the manufacturers of the paint. The viscosity
cup supplied will help you determine the correct
thickness of the paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the
substance which the paint is based upon. If a water
based paint then water is added, if oil based then
white spirit, if cellulose then a cellulose thinner is
added.
As some paints, wood preservatives and other
sprayable materials contain particles that have
differing qualities, please ensure that when filling the
paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is
filtered through either a funnel with a filter on it or
through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that
no large particles enter the paint container, so
preventing blockages and providing you with trouble
free spraying. Ensure that a face mask, gloves and
goggles are worn at all times when spraying.
