Preparation

Preparing the Paint
To prepare paint for the Easy Spray
Gun, it must be stirred to an even
consistency with a paint stirrer or
clean dowel. Run the paint through a
paint strainer like those included in
the Easy Spray package, or the
reusable strainer accessory, to remove
any hardened paint particles or bristle
remnants that might clog the sprayer.
Preparing the Surface
WALLS
Surface preparation is the key to
achieving a smooth, seamless finish.
Begin by patching nail holes or cracks
in the wall with drywall compound.
Apply as directed and allow to dry.
Sand for a smooth finish.
Wipe your walls and trim with a
damp cloth to remove dirt, residue
and debris.
FURNITURE
Do not paint
furniture with
plastic or vinyl
veneer. Paint
will not stick
to these sur-
faces.
Remove cabi-
net doors,
drawers and
hardware
(knobs, pulls
and hinges).
For wood
pieces only: If Painting furniture
you plan to
use new hardware after the piece has
been painted, check to see if you can
use the item's existing holes. If not,
Operating Instructions & Parts Manual
you will have to fill the old holes with
wood filler and drill new holes prior
to painting.
WOOD
Unless you are using a piece of unfin-
ished furniture, you will need to
examine the piece for scratches, dust
and other surface imperfections.
Lightly sand the entire piece to
remove any surface contamination
and/or old, flaking paint. Wipe off
dust and other particles with a damp
cloth or tack cloth and allow to dry.
METAL
Sand the entire piece with 320 grit or
finer sandpaper so the paint will
adhere.
Use naval jelly or coarse grit sandpa-
per to remove rust. Old, peeling
paint should also be removed.
Wipe off dust and other particles with
a tack cloth.
WICKER
Hose down wicker with luke-warm
water, paying careful attention to
corners and crevices.
Allow to dry thoroughly.

Operation

Test the Easy Spray Gun on a scrap
piece of cardboard to determine if
thinning is required. When sprayed,
the coating should produce a very
smooth finish, with tiny droplets visi-
ble around the edges of the spray
pattern. If the spray sputters or sprays
inconsistently, it may be too thick. If
so follow the thinning directions,
available where the paint was pur-
chased. Once you have thinned the
paint (if necessary) test spray to deter-
mine proper material and air flow
adjustment, as well as the distance
from the surface.
