What happens here
Before beginning to spray, ensure your workspace is properly set up for painting. This involves having an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray system ready, which includes the Apollo Spray turbine unit, a connected hose, and a spray gun. The system should be powered on, and the pressure adjusted, as seen with the digital display showing '7.3 PSI'. A temporary spray booth, constructed from plastic sheeting, should be in place to contain overspray, along with proper ventilation, such as an orange flexible hose connected to an exhaust fan, venting outside through a window. The cabinet door to be painted should be positioned securely on a specialized rotating stand, like the PaintLine system, to allow easy access to all surfaces.
Goal: Prepare the HVLP system and painting environment for efficient and safe spraying.
