WATER / OIL IN COmPRESSED AIR
All compressor pumps discharge some
condensed water, oil or contaminates
with the compressed air.
ImPORTANT: This condensation
will cause "fish eyes" to appear in
the paint job. Install appropriate
water/oil removal equipment and
controls as necessary for the intended
application. Locate filter as close to
spray gun as possible.
Failure to install

water / oil removal equipment may

and always
keep the gun in motion while
spraying. Stopping gun movement
in mid-stroke will cause a build up
of paint and result in runs. Do not
fan the gun from side to side while
painting. This will cause a build-up
of paint in the center of the stroke
and an insufficient coating at each
end (See Figure 9).

can be varied by the speed of the
stroke, distance from the surface
and adjustment of the fluid control

obtain an even coat (See Figure 11).

better results and have less chance of
