HORIZONTAL PASSES

The spray applicator should be maintained in a

position at right angles to the object and should

be moved in a path parallel to the object.

VERTICAL PASSES

There may be instances where it is more practical

to coat an object using vertical passes rather than

horizontal. First, rotate the nozzle to shift the fan

pattern, then holding the applicator at right angles

to the object, move the applicator in a straight

vertical path as illustrated.

FLAT SURFACES

One of the most prevalent of "bad" spray painting

habits is the one where the operator holds his arm

steady and swings his wrist back and forth. This is

a hard habit to break, it gives the illusion of adding

speed to the coating operation, when in reality, it is

slower and much more inefficient. Spray painting

in this fashion results in light films on both sides,

excessive film at center, and increased overspray

with excessive "bounce-back."
