  • Page 14: Spraying Techniques

    Spraying Techniques Preventing Excessive Tip Wear • Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed, no gaps at edges). Start at low pressure set- ting, increase pressure a little at a time until you see a good spray pattern, without tails. • Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint.

  • Page 15: Tip Selection

    Choosing the Correct Tip for the Job Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make sure you use best tip hole size for that coating and best fan width for that surface. Tip Selection Selecting Tip Hole Size • Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of paint that comes out of the gun.

  • Page 16: Reversible Tip Selection Chart

    Understanding Tip Number The last three digits of tip number (i.e.: 221413) contain information about hole size and fan width on surface when gun is held 12 in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed. First digit when doubled = approximate 413 tip has fan width 8-10 in.

  • Page 17: Getting Started With Basic Techniques

    Getting Started With Basic Techniques Use the Practice Spray Board to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface. • Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface and aim straight at surface. Tilting gun to direct spray angle causes an uneven finish.
