Body Work Tutorial

Now lets get that gun set up to spray. For a newbie I would suggest sticking some paper up on the wall and testing the pattern. You want a good even fan with the proper amount of fluid. Here are some examples.

The dial my finger on is your pattern adjustment. Close it down and you get a shotgun pattern, open it up and you get a nice fan. My suggestion to a newbie is to open the fan up quite a ways. If you close it too far you will get what I was trying to show on the side... too much material. The fan next to it looks good.

Next the fluid adjustment... Not much to say here. I prefer the painter to just open the fluid adjustment all the way and modulate it with your trigger. This is a good technique to learn as you can modulate your finger to lightly dust something, or to lay it on heavy. Do some practice and you will get the hang of it.

Air pressure, I would suggest checking the product info for air pressure settings but as an experienced painted I don't even look at the dial, I just listen to the way the gun sounds and know its right.

If you use too much air pressure you will be wasting product and $.
