Spraying Techniques
General Spraying Techniques
D Select proper fluid set. To determine correct fluid
set see charts on page 8.
D When fluid is first applied, start with fluid valve and
maximum air and the knob set to the FAN spray
pattern position. Then adjust as needed. See Fig. 8
for pattern size adjustment.
D Keep gun perpendicular to surface and maintain
consistent distance of approximately 6 to 8 inches
(150 to 200 mm) from object being sprayed.
See Fig. 15.
D Always have spray gun in motion before triggering.
Move spray gun across workpiece in straight,
smooth, stroke. Maintaining speed and distance.
Release trigger at end of stroke.
D To obtain even finish, overlap previous strokes
by 50%.
D Apply full, wet coat whenever possible.
Automotive Spraying Techniques
D When blending spots, work from outside in.
D Two 20-foot (6.1 m) hoses are recommended when
applying automotive finish coats. Additional hose
allows air to cool for better flow.
