4.Do not stop your motion when spray- ing the work piece. Stopping will cause to build up, and run or sag.

5.Hold the Spray Gun vertically. Hold- ing the gun at an angle will affect the spray pattern.

6.Do not spray too heavily. Heavy spray will cause drips, sags and runs. Build up the paint surface with several light coats. Apply each coat when the previous one is tacky but not yet dry. This will allow the over coat to adhere to the previous layer, but will not be so heavy as to cause sags, runs or drips.

7.You must also avoid thick, clumpy paint surface called “orange peel”. Prevent orange peel by thinning the paint properly before spraying. Then spray successive light, even coats.
