Spraying Technique

1. Move the spray gun with the entire arm, not by rotating the wrist. This will keep the spray gun
perpendicular to the surface, helping keep the pattern and coverage even.
2. Keep the spray gun angle perpendicular to the surface, so spray distance is consistent.
3. Overlap each stroke by 30% to ensure even coverage.
TIPS:
• Do not spray out doors on a windy day as the results may be unsatisfactory.
• Apply one coat at a time. Always allow a coat to completely dry before adding another coat.
• Avoid stopping and starting as this can lead to a patchy finish. It is best to start spraying outside the
surface to be sprayed and avoid stopping in the middle of the surface, continue just past the opposite
edge.
• If taking a break from spraying for more than several minutes, perform the pressure release procedure
and place the spray tip in the applicable paint solvent to prevent paint from drying and forming blockages
in it.
