SPRAYING TECHNIQUES

Your Touch-Up Gun is designed for light touch-up work, stenciling, and small job duties. For heavy or medium production work, we suggest our H.V.L.P. and professional model spray guns.

For most uses, e.g. painting walls, benches, vehicles, etc., the best results are obtained by spraying thin, even coats of paint. Let the layers dry in between coats.

As with any manual process, practice leads to perfection. The following are a few general rules that may be of help in perfecting your process:

Use the lowest pressure setting

 

CAUTION:Always keep the LID (#32)

tight when connected to the air source.

 

recommended by the paint manufacturer.

 

 

 

Keep the gun perpendicular to the ground.

 

 

Maintain a distance of about 8” from the work

 

 

 

as shown in Figure 5.

 

 

Make smooth, thin and even strokes across the

 

 

 

work.

 

 

Overlap each stroke by about 50%. (See Figure

 

 

6)

 

 

Let each coat dry before re-coating.

 

 

When painting with metallic, pearls, etc., always

 

 

 

cross coat the paint.
