Spray Techniques & Tips Using An Airless Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Tips.
What happens here
When applying the paint, use a 50% overlap technique. This means that each new spray pass should cover approximately half of the previous pass. This method effectively applies the equivalent of two coats of paint in a single pass, ensuring thorough and even coverage. Maintain a consistent gun speed that allows the paint to "gel out" properly, meaning it flows and levels on the surface without drying too quickly or creating an undesirable textured finish, often referred to as "stipple."
Goal: Achieve even paint coverage with a smooth finish by using proper overlap and gun speed.
