Overspray, How To Stop Before It Strikes
What happens here
Hold the spray gun about 25-30 centimeters (roughly one ruler's length) from the surface. Ensure the gun is held perpendicular to the surface at all times to maintain an even spray pattern. When spraying, pull the trigger and begin moving the gun simultaneously. For wider areas, move your entire body (feet) rather than just pivoting the gun from a fixed position. Pivoting the gun with planted feet will cause the spray pattern to 'fan' or 'feather' at the edges, leading to uneven coverage and more paint going into the air as overspray.
Goal: Proper spraying technique involves holding the gun at the correct distance and angle, and coordinating trigger pull with movement to ensure uniform coverage and minimize overspray.
