BASIC SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
??
For applications where thicker coats are required and finish quality is critical, consider applying two
thinner coats. The reduction in paint consumption and drying time when spraying with HERO
systems often justifies the additional step.
??
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface being sprayed, maintain a consistent distance from the
surface (approx. 6-8”/15-20cm), and spray with a smooth continuous motion.
??
Overlap strokes up to 50% to ensure proper coverage and avoid streaks.
??
Select the Needle and Fluid Tip that performs best with the trigger of the gun fully engaged.
??
When spraying odd shaped objects, spray hard to reach areas, curved surfaces, and corners and edges
first, spray flat surfaces second.
??
When spraying an edge or corner, split the center of the spray pattern on the corner or edge so that
each side receives 50% of the spray pattern and equal amounts of paint.
