Take a few moments prior to spraying and
review these simple tips to ensure your
spraying project is a success.

Spray Techniques

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice
spraying techniques before spraying the
work piece.
•
For Standard and ProContractor
models, use TurboControl to adjust
pressure.
•
For ProComp models using the remote
cup, use TurboControl and pressure
regulator on remote cup to adjust
pressure.

Always spray with the least amount of
pressure required to provide the desired
spray pattern and rate of application.
Spraying at pressures higher than
necessary wastes material and can
result in an orange peel finish.
