SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
The quality of the finished work depends on the smoothness and cleanliness
of the surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully
prepared and kept free from dust. Carefully mask all areas not to be painted
and cover all surrounding areas.
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find
the correct setting. Start spraying outside the actual target area and pass
smoothly across the target without stoppages.
Control the speed of movement of the spray gun evenly. A fast speed of
movement over the surface will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a
heavy coat.
Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you observe
the manufacturer’s drying time recommendations before applying a second
coat. When spraying small areas, keep the regulator on a low setting. 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 to local areas. Do
not tilt the spray gun at more than 45
O
.
Hold the spray gun at an even distance from the target as shown in Fig 5 and
avoid an uneven movement.
