Make sure that you have masked the areas that

should not be sprayed, using a good quality

masking tape. The paint or fluid to be sprayed

should be thoroughly mixed and free from lumps

or other particles. Many substances can be

sprayed with your spray gun, but always check

the manufacturers recommendations before

purchasing your paint.

Thinning

Always remember to disconnect from the

mains supply before filling the paint

container with sprayable material.

Most paints are supplied ready for brush

application and will need to be thinned before

they are suitable to be sprayed. Follow the

manufacturers advice on thinning the paint when

used with a spray gun. The viscosity cup will help

you to determine the correct viscosity of paint to be

used. To determine the correct viscosity, fill the cup

to the brim with the paint. Measure the amount of

time it takes for the cup to empty back into the can.

The table below shows recommended times for

different types of material.

Plastic & latex paint 24 - 28 seconds

Water based paint 20 - 25 seconds

Primers 24 - 28 seconds

Varnishes 20 - 25 seconds

Oil based paints 18 - 22 seconds

Enamel paints 18 - 22 seconds

Aluminium paints 22 - 25 seconds

Car undersealing 25 - 35 seconds

Wood sealers 28 - 35 seconds

Wood preservatives No thinning required

Wood stains No thinning required

If the paint takes longer than the recommended

time to empty, then further thinning is required. Mix

in a small quantity of the appropriate thinner and

use the viscosity test until the correct thickness

is achieved. Some sprayable materials contain

particles and lumps. These materials should be

strained before filling the paint container.

Spraying

Fig. C

Fill the paint container with the correctly thinned

and strained paint. Connect the spray gun to the

mains supply. Aim the spray gun at a piece of

scrap material and operate the trigger switch until

paint is spraying. Adjust the output control (2)

until the required volume of paint is spraying. Turn

the output control in a clockwise direction (B) to

reduce the flow and anti-clockwise (A) to increase

the flow. Adjustment of the output control will

affect the spray pattern. A poor spray pattern will

concentrate the paint in the centre of the spray and

give a blotchy finish. A good spray pattern will give

even distribution of paint throughout the pattern.

Spraying techniques

Fig. D

To obtain the best results, keep your spray gun

level and parallel to the surface at all times. Keep

the nozzle 25 - 30 cm from the surface and spray

evenly from side to side or up and down. Do not

spray at an angle as this will lead to paint runs on

the surface. Use smooth and even strokes. When

spraying large areas, use a criss-cross pattern as

shown.

Fig. E

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. A fast

speed of movement over the surface will give

a thin coat and a slow speed will give a heavy

coat. Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat

is required, make sure you observe the manu-

facturers drying time recommendations before

applying a second coat. When spraying small

areas, keep the output control on a low setting.

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. Do

not tip the spray gun to more than 45°.

Fitting and using the flexible nozzle

Fig. F

The flexible nozzle extension should be used to

spray flat or horizontal surfaces. It should also

be used in areas with limited access. To fit the

flexible nozzle, unscrew the basket nozzle and

attach the flexible nozzle in it‘s place. Replace

the basket nozzle on the end of the flexible nozzle

and tighten.
