What happens here

Before starting to spray, meticulously cover the surrounding ground and any adjacent surfaces with tarps and cardboard shields to protect them from overspray. The video emphasizes the need for extensive masking due to the fine mist produced by the HVLP sprayer. Set up your HVLP sprayer, ensuring the paint cup is filled with the prepared topcoat. The video demonstrates using an 'Apollo Precision 5 LE Limited Edition' sprayer with an 'Atomizer 7700 gun' and a '1.3 needle' at 6.7 PSI. Confirm the fluid control and air pressure settings are appropriate for your specific paint and desired spray pattern.

Goal: Protect surroundings and prepare equipment for topcoat application.

  • 1.3 Needle — Controlling the spray pattern and paint flow

  • Face Mask/Respirator RZ Mask — Protecting the user from inhaling paint fumes and particles
  • Gloves — Protecting hands from paint
