Body Work Tutorial

Is it finally time to spray something? Yea! Lets go for it. :D


Here are a few spraying tips.

How close should I put the gun to the panel? In general spread your thumb and pinky finger out... that is about the correct distance.

Overlap your fan pattern, I suggest about a 50% overlap from each pass.

Don't flick the gun at the end of a stroke. You will be laying far less material on the end of the stroke this way. I pull the trigger full on, and release half way (to air pressure) at the end of the stroke. This lets the air atomize the last bit of fluid and push it towards the panel.

Always spray in the direction that the panel is facing. Panels are not all flat, they have curves and angles... always adjust your wrist to keep the material flowing directly at the face of each bend and curve.

Practice and have some fun:burnout:
