Applying the Paint:
In most cases, it is best to move the paint spray from side to side, overlap- ping the previous paint. In this way you will gradually build up the paint layer without leaving any obvious edges.
To paint in this way, the spray pattern should be set to vertical.
It is important to prevent excess paint at the beginning and end of each stroke. Holding the sprayer away from the work piece, squeeze the trigger to start the spray. Then move the spray gun in to within
As you work, carefully observe the way the paint accumulates on the work surface. It is more important to maintain a good paint surface than to form an opaque (thick) paint coat.You can always apply a second coat to get the coverage you want. If the surface is ruined, however, you will have to start over with surface preparation.
If the surface does not smooth out in a few seconds after applying the paint, your paint mixture is probably too thick. Thin your paint slightly and test on a piece of scrap material. If the paint goes on very thin and threatens to run, stop spraying immediately. Add more paint to your mixture to thicken the paint. Test on a piece of scrap material before resuming work.
Maintenance
After each use, thoroughly clean the spray gun.
1.Empty the Paint Cup of paint, and wipe it out with a clean rag.
2.Fill the Paint Cup about halfway with the solvent appropriate for the paint used.
3.Spray the solvent into an appropriate receptacle for proper disposal. Continue to spray until paint in the interior of the Spray Gun is ejected and the solvent spray is clear.
4.Using a clean rag damp with solvent, wipe off the Spray Gun to remove paint from the exterior.
5.Store your paint sprayer in a clean dry place.
