15. Spray Technique
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the
surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and
kept free of dust.
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
•
Important: Start at the edge of the area to be sprayed. Start the spray
movement rst of all, and then press the trigger. Avoid interruptions
within the area to be sprayed.
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist. This ensures that
•
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during
the spray operation. Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired spray jet
width. When you are using interior wall paint, the distance should be about 20-30 cm.

Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray

pattern setting.
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.

Important: Wipe o the nozzle and air cap regularly
to make sure they do not get blocked.
"Cross spray" when using paint with a poor covering capacity or if the
surface is highly absorbent (Fig. 11).
Interior wall paint in strong colour shades should be applied at least twice (allow rst
