abn deuce Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I thought is was mention to position ones self up wind if spraying outdoors ? better to use a open shed or garage to give you some still or calm air . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Something I think is very important is to stir the tin of paint very well before thinning and using in the spray gun, not just 10 or so times with a screwdriver, but stir it properly with a piece of thick wire with a loop at the end, long enough to reach the bottom of the tin put this in an electric drill outside in the fresh air, do this for as long as possible 5 mins or until the paint is thoroughly mixed up. This will give much better future mixes as the tin of paint will remain mixed up and do this every time you want to use that colour. The most important thing also is to get a water trap between the compressor and pressure regulator this is to stop water vapour getting to the spray gun as spray guns use lots of air you will start to get tiny blobs of water in the painted surface if you dont have one. Good luck :cool2: Edited March 16, 2009 by R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
