OPERATION The AP8GFM spray gun is fed with paint by gravity from the paint container. The air-flow through the air cap draws paint into the nozzle assembly, where it is atomised and sprayed forward. The AP8GFM spray gun is supplied with one nozzle size, (0.8 mm). Ensure your spray gun is matched to the capacity of your compressor. -

PAINT THINNING Paint thinning is particularly important when spraying. Many paints are supplied ready for brush application and need to be sufficiently diluted for spraying purposes. Always follow the paint manufacturers instructions. If in doubt, always consult the paint manufacturer. A Viscosity Cup (not supplied), will assist in determining the correct thickness of the paint. -
