To obtain the best results, keep your

spray gun level and parallel to the

surface at all times. Keep the nozzle

23 - 30 cm from the surface and spray

evenly from side to side or up and

down. Use your arm to control the

spray gun, not your wrist.

The gun should be perpendicular to

the surface being covered and

moved parallel with it. The stroke

should be started before the trigger is pulled and likewise released before the

stroke is ended. This gives accurate control of the gun and material.

Do not spray at an angle as this will

lead to paint runs on the surface.

Always use smooth and even strokes.

When spraying large areas, using a

criss-cross pattern as shown.

Never start or stop the spray gun

while it is aimed at the surface to be

sprayed. Evenly control the speed of

movement of the spray gun.

• Moving quickly over the

surface will give a thin coat

and slow movement will give a

heavy coat.

• Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you

observe the manufacturers drying time recommendations before

applying a second coat.

• When spraying small areas, keep the output control on a low setting

as this will avoid using too much paint and prevent overspray.

• Where possible, avoid stopping and starting when spraying an

object. This can lead to too much, or not enough paint being

applied.
