How to Make the
Correct Pass
Overlapping
Each Pass
Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 1 to 8 inches from the spray
surface. Spray parallel to the surface and use controlled, smooth passes at an
even speed. Start by applying a thin coat of material on the first pass and
allow it to tac before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
Correct
When spraying, trigger the spray gun before starting your pass, and release
trigger before stopping the pass. The best results will occur when making
passes about 20 inches. Keep the gun perpendicular to the surface and overlap
passes approximately 50% to obtain the most consistent, professional finish.

The CAPSPRAY gun is not "all on" or "all off." With practice, trigger pull
and spraying distance can also be used to change the pattern size. The ideal
distance for HVLP spraying is 1-8 inches from the substrate. Remember, the
closer you stay, the more control you have.
The edges of each spray pattern fade slightly. To maintain even coverage,
overlap each stroke.
