The Easy Way to Adjust Your Spray Gun for Optimum Results 

 

There is no magic number of “turns” rotations, or descriptions like: “¾ turn, half way, 4 times” to 
adjust your spray gun for optimal use. Every gun differs, and solution thickness will always vary 
from day to day. 

Your goal is always a specific spray pattern width.

 This will only change 

slightly based on the viscosity (thickness) of your tanning solution, but you should never change 
the desired spray pattern width output from the spray gun. 
 
The proper way to use a MaxiMist spray gun is 4 inches away from the skin surface, with a 4-inch-
wide/long spray pattern (at its longest point). This will give you the optimum application, while 
using the least amount of product (2-2.5oz per application, in two separate, back to back, coats of 
1 oz. ea.)  This will produce very little overspray, when the spray gun is used properly, with correct 
application technique. 
 
The easiest way to achieve this is: 

  Hang an unneeded white cotton bath towel over a chair, cabinet or pin it to a wall. We 

suggest you use this, as it will give you the best visual you will be looking for. (solution may 
stain towel) 

   Place a few ounces of tanning solution into your cup. (3-4 oz.) 

  Adjust your spray gun to the closed position by turning the flow control knob, (located on 

the back of the gun or the trigger) so when the trigger is pulled, no solution sprays out; we 
call this “at zero”. No matter which pattern selection you use (horizontal or vertical), you will 
always hold the spray gun 4 inches away from the towel. 

  Attach the spray gun to your machine and turn it on 

  Slowly begin to adjust your gun (using the flow control knob to open or release the solution 

flow) so it begins to spray solution as you point it at the towel while pulling the trigger. Pull 
the trigger quickly and let go. DO NOT MO

VE YOU’RE HAND, JUST POINT AND PULL 

THE TRIGGER IN SHORT QUICK BURSTS IN ONE AREA. 

  You will then see a line start to develop on the towel. The line direction will depend on the 

direction you have your air cap set (this is on the front of your spray gun)  

  It will either be a vertical or horizontal slightly elliptical line depending on your spray pattern 

preference.  (see below image)
