The air pressure is adjusted with the oil and water separator. The amount of paint
is adjusted with the adjustment screw on the spray gun.
Look at both the pictures:
CORRECT and INCORRECT.
The first condition for achieving good results is that one handles the spray gun cor-
rectly, i.e. do as in the picture
CORRECT. Hold the spray gun at right angles to the
surface to be painted and move the gun parallel to it. Begin the sweep before pull-
ing the trigger and release the trigger whilst still moving the gun. That way, one will
have control over both the spray gun and work area.
The distance from the nozzle to the work surface should be between 15 and 5 cm,
depending on the type of paint and the air pressure. The coat of paint should be
even and wet (shiny). Overlap the previous sweep to ensure an absolutely even
finish.
NOTE! To reduce unnecessary paint consumption and for best results, one should
try to use as low an air pressure as possible without sacrificing quality of finish. Use
only your index finger to press the trigger. That way you will have more of a feel for
the spray gun.
