Do not stop your motion when spray- 4.
ing the work piece. Stopping will
cause to build up, and run or sag.
Hold the Spray Gun vertically. Hold-
5.
ing the gun at an angle will affect the
spray pattern.
Do not spray too heavily. Heavy spray 6.
will cause drips, sags and runs. Build
up the paint surface with several light
coats. Apply each coat when the
previous one is tacky but not yet dry.
This will allow the over coat to adhere
to the previous layer, but will not be
so heavy as to cause sags, runs or
drips.
You must also avoid thick, clumpy
7.
paint surface called “orange peel”.
Prevent orange peel by thinning the
paint properly before spraying. Then
spray successive light, even coats.
