SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
Your Touch-Up Gun is designed for light touch-up work, stenciling, and small job duties. For
heavy or medium production work, we suggest our H.V.L.P. and professional model spray guns.
For most uses, e.g. painting walls, benches, vehicles, etc., the best results are obtained by
spraying thin, even coats of paint. Let the layers dry in between coats.
As with any manual process, practice leads to perfection. The following are a few general rules
that may be of help in perfecting your process:
Use the lowest pressure setting •
recommended by the paint manufacturer.
Keep the gun perpendicular to the ground.•
Maintain a distance of about 8” from the work •
as shown in Figure 5.
Make smooth, thin and even strokes across the •
work.
Overlap each stroke by about 50%. (See Figure •
6)
Let each coat dry before re-coating.•
When painting with metallic, pearls, etc., always •
cross coat the paint.
CAUTION:Always keep the LID (#32)
tight when connected to the air source.
