Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and will need to be thinned before they
are suitable to be sprayed. Follow the manufacturer’s advice on thinning. The paint when
used with a spray gun. The viscosity cup will help you to determine the correct viscosity of
paint to be used. To determine the correct viscosity, fill the cup to the brim with the paint.
Measure the amount of time it takes for the cup to empty back into the can.
The table below shows recommended times for different types of material.
Viscosity Table
Spray material Runout Time in Seconds
Plastic & latex paint 24 - 28 seconds
Water based paint 20 - 25 seconds
Primers 24- 28 seconds
Varnishes 20 - 25 seconds
Oil based paints 18 - 22 seconds

If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, then further thinning is required.
Mix in a small quantity of the appropriate thinner and use the viscosity test until the correct
thickness is achieved. Some sprayable materials contain particles and lumps. These materials
should be strained before filling the paint container.
