The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. This is done by using even strokes. Follow the TIPS,
below.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Even coat throughout
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
TIP:
Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and
keep the spray gun at a constant distance from
the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to
12 inches between the spray tip and the surface.
The pressure control
dial can be adjusted up
or down to achieve the
desired spray pattern.

When enough pressure has built up in the hose, the
