There are a lot of times that we have discussed the qualities of the sprayers and their parts. We have also talked about what the sprayers can do and what they cannot do. One thing that we do not really talk about is the tricks that you need to use while spraying. It does not matter if you have the best sprayer in the world or not, but if you are not using the right techniques it will all go in vain. Having said all of that, we would like to mention some of the tips and tricks that you need to look into when you are spraying. Just like the Paint sprayer repair is necessary to do for a good spraying experience, you also need to learn and follow the right techniques too.
Look into the safety part:
The first and most important thing that we overlook is our own safety when we are spraying. The procedure of spraying sure is really easy to do and does not take much time but it does not mean you should overlook this. When you are starting to spray, wear your safety goggles, with a respiratory mask, to protect yourself from breathing issues. Also, wear coats that have long sleeves, and wear long boots so the paint is not all over the place, and you.
Always spray test before actual spraying:
The second step that we think everybody needs to follow again is testing the spray on some cards before you actually start spraying. Now, what happens is that the user thinks they have prepared everything, now they should start spraying. This way the paint on the wall with the first coat goes really thick or thin which ruins it all. When you are starting to paint, always make sure that you spray on the card first. This way, you will know if the color is fine and if the thickness of +coat is fine or not.
Tip and filter size:
The next thing that should be mentioned in this list is about choosing the right tip size and the right filter size. When you are spraying choosing the right size of the nozzle, and filter of the gun is really important. If you want to get the right and perfect results then you surely need to look into this. When the diameter of the nozzle is right, the flow of paint is also right. When you are choosing the filter making the right choice is important for the material that you are using. If the material that you are using is viscous then your filter should always be coarser.
Corners and edges before any other space:
The point that we are going to mention now is something that you might already know, or might not. Well, we are going to talk about the most unpopular opinion which is painting the edges before any other large area. If you are wondering why it should be so, don’t worry we will explain that too. When you are painting the edges before the large surfaces then you have more chances of getting even paint. If you cannot do this then start spraying in the cross-coat pattern so that you achieve better coverage on the surface.
Why not use the extensions:
You are legitimately looking at the 60’s if you still do not know what the extensions are and how they are used. Nozzle extensions sure are something that has made the life of users so much easier and more convenient. Just as, in the old time people used to use staircases to reach places that are hard to reach, now, you can use extensions and get the work done. The extensions are ranging in sizes anywhere between 15 to 60 cm. you will not need to use any ladders to get to the places you want. This is the technique for easy coating of all the places that are out of your reach.
Move before you spray:
The last technique that we are going to be sharing with you is again a fun one that you might not know of. It is to move the sprayer before you actually start spraying because it is going to help you a lot. Sometimes when you are spraying you tend to press the button first and then the spray double coats the surface. To get rid of this problem, you can just move the sprayer to the place that you want to paint, before pressing the button, and this way you will get to paint evenly throughout the surface. These are all the techniques that you need to follow if you want to paint evenly and get the best results. We are sure these are going to help you a lot without getting into much trouble.
