Avoid applicator to targe distances of
over 12-inches, excessive applicator to tar-
get distances will result in wrapback.
NOTE
TUBULAR WORK
Tubular parts or objects up to approximately 2-1/2" diameter can be coated successfully from one
side, utilizing wraparound characteristics and proper techniques.
A. Wrong fan position - little wrap. Heavy film on front surface,
possible sags.
B. Correct fan position - better wrap. More accurately con-
trolled film. Normally fan pattern should be slightly wider
than parts being sprayed.
C. Correct fan position but excessively wide fan may produce
more overspray if used in this position.
D. A wide fan tilted at an angle may also work well. (Wide fans
have slower forward velocity.)
SUGGESTION: Small tubes may be racked in groups to simulate larger targets. This allows the use
of wider fans and may help improve efficiency.

Adjust the fan for a pattern
width slightly wider than the
object. This allows some
coating material to start
around the sides of the object.
Increase the applicator to tar-
get distance to approximately
10-12-inches. This will decrease
the speed of the paint particles in
the vicinity of the target.
Hold the applicator at an angle of
30 o to 45 o to the object. This will
direct paint more to target area.
