4. To reduce overspray, always use the lowest possible air pressure that
produces an acceptable spray pattern.
• If the gun is too far from the surface or the paint is too thin, the paint
will start to dry before hitting the surface, resulting in a rough, sandy
finish. Allowing overspray to fall on a finished area will also result in a
rough finish. Too much paint feed or holding the gun too close to the
work will lead to runs and sagging.
• The paint should be agitated by gentle shaking at regular intervals
during use to ensure consistency and avoid colour difference due to
the paint settling in the container.
5. To obtain the best results, keep
your spray gun level and parallel
to the surface at all times. Keep
the nozzle 23 - 30 cm from the
surface and spray evenly from
side to side or up and down. Use
your arm to control the spray gun,
not your wrist.
6. The gun should be perpendicular
to the surface being covered and
moved parallel with it. The stroke
should be started before the trigger is pulled and likewise released before
the stroke is ended. This gives accurate control of the gun and material.
7. Do not spray at an angle as this
will lead to paint runs on the
surface. Always use a smooth and
even stroke.
8. When spraying large areas, use a
criss-cross pattern as shown.
9. Never start or stop the spray gun
while it is aimed at the surface to
be sprayed. Evenly control the
speed of movement of the spray
gun.
