PREPARATION
Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be concerned with to obtain the best results from your spray kit.
Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or similar.
Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not
spray those areas you wish to remain untouched.
THINNING
Your spray kit is supplied with a viscosity cup. Viscosity is a technical term used to indicate if a product is very thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low, while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high.
Viscosity is measured in seconds. In order to spray some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted). Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints etc are supplied ready for brush application and may need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.
