THINNING
Most paint is supplied ready for application
by coating and therefore needs to be
thinned before it can be sprayed. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer for thinning
the paint before spraying. The viscosity beaker
can be used to find the right viscosity for the
paint. Fill the beaker with paint up to the edge.
Time how long it takes to empty the beaker
in the paint can. The table below indicates
recommended times for different paints.

If emptying the beaker takes longer than the
recommended time, the product needs to be
thinned even more Mix in a small amount of
a suitable thinner and carry out the viscosity
test until the right viscosity is achieved. Some
products can contain particles and lumps. Such
products must be strained before pouring them
into the paint container.

flammable liquids. Do not use for food,
medicine or other purposes than those
specified in the instructions.
USE
PREPARATION
Do not use textured paints for walls or coverings.
This will block the nozzle. For optimum results it
is important to prepare the surface before using
the spray gun. The paint should also be thinned
to the right viscosity. Make sure the surface to be
painted is free from dust, dirt and grease. Cover
surfaces not to be treated with high quality
masking tape. The paint or fluid to be sprayed
must be thoroughly mixed and must not contain
lumps or other particles. The spray gun can be
used for many different products. Always read
the recommendations of the manufacturer
when choosing the paint.
