What happens here
Begin by setting up the HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray system, such as the Apollo Spray unit shown, in a dedicated work area. Ensure the unit is plugged into a power source and that the air hose is connected to the spray gun. Create a temporary spray booth using plastic sheeting to contain overspray and dust, and install a ventilation system, like the orange flexible duct leading to a window, to exhaust fumes and ensure air quality. Adjust the air pressure on the HVLP system as needed for your specific paint and desired finish (e.g., 7.3 PSI is displayed at the start of the video).
Goal: Create a safe and efficient workspace for spray painting.
