Spraying Techniques - Central Pneumatic 86 Set Up And Operating Instructions Manual

Your Touch-Up Gun is designed for light touch-up work, stenciling, and small job duties. For
heavy or medium production work, we suggest our H.V.L.P. and professional model spray guns.
For most uses, e.g. painting walls, benches, vehicles, etc., the best results are obtained by
spraying thin, even coats of paint. Let the layers dry in between coats.
As with any manual process, practice leads to perfection. The following are a few general rules
that may be of help in perfecting your process:
•
Use the lowest pressure setting
recommended by the paint manufacturer.
•
Keep the gun perpendicular to the ground.
•
Maintain a distance of about 8" from the work
as shown in Figure 5.
•
Make smooth, thin and even strokes across the
work.
•
Overlap each stroke by about 50%. (See Figure
6)
•
Let each coat dry before re-coating.
•
When painting with metallic, pearls, etc., always
cross coat the paint.
