HORIZONTAL PASSES
The spray applicator should be maintained in a
position at right angles to the object and should
be moved in a path parallel to the object.
VERTICAL PASSES
There may be instances where it is more practical
to coat an object using vertical passes rather than
horizontal. First, rotate the nozzle to shift the fan
pattern, then holding the applicator at right angles
to the object, move the applicator in a straight
vertical path as illustrated.
FLAT SURFACES
One of the most prevalent of "bad" spray painting
habits is the one where the operator holds his arm
steady and swings his wrist back and forth. This is
a hard habit to break, it gives the illusion of adding
speed to the coating operation, when in reality, it is
slower and much more inefficient. Spray painting
in this fashion results in light films on both sides,
excessive film at center, and increased overspray
with excessive "bounce-back."
