angles to the
work (See
Figure 4).
Keep the nozzle
about 6 to 9 inches
from the work
surface throughout
the stroke 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 5).

2. "Trigger" the gun properly. Start
the gun moving at the beginning
of the stroke BEFORE SQUEEZING
THE TRIGGER and release the trigger
BEFORE STOPPING GUN MOVEMENT
at the end of the stroke. This
procedure will "feather" (blend)
each stroke with the next without
showing overlap or unevenness (See
Figure 6).
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.

3. The amount of paint being applied
can be varied by the speed of the
stroke, distance from the surface and
adjustment of the fluid control knob.
4. Overlap strokes just enough to
obtain an even coat (See Figure 7).
NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will
yield better results and have less
chance of runs than one heavy layer.

to catch overspray at the edges of
the work to protect other surfaces.
Use masking tape to cover other
