surfaces are more prone to “run” than
horizontal surfaces due to the effect of
gravity.
Applying the Paint
In most cases, it is best to
move the paint spray from side to
side, overlapping the previous paint.
In this way you will gradually build up
the paint layer without leaving any
obvious edges.
To paint in this way, the spray
pattern should be set to vertical.
It is important to prevent ex-
cess paint at the beginning and end of
each stroke. Holding the sprayer away
from the work piece, squeeze the trig-
ger to start the spray. Then move the
spray gun in to within 14-16 inches
of the work piece. Move the sprayer
smoothly across the work piece, keep-
ing a consistent distance. At the end
of each stroke, pull the sprayer away
from the work piece as you release
the trigger.
As you work, carefully ob-
serve the way the paint accumulates
on the work surface. It is more impor-
tant to maintain a good paint surface
than to form an opaque (thick) paint
coat. You can always apply a second
coat to get the coverage you want. If
the surface is ruined, however, you
will have to start over with surface
preparation.
If the surface does not smooth
out in a few seconds after applying the
paint, your paint mixture is probably
too thick. Thin your paint slightly and
test on a piece of scrap material. If the
paint goes on very thin and threatens
to run, stop spraying immediately. Add
more paint to your mixture to thicken
the paint. Test on a piece of scrap
material before resuming work.
