SPRAY GUNS

In the shop we use the 3M model HG18. It comes with a medium sized fluid tip and has a disposable air cap that you can use several times before replacing.

For this video we sprayed High Performance Topcoat using a self contained system, the Earl X Model 5500. It also comes with a medium sized fluid tip.

APPLICATION

Although High Performance can be sprayed straight from the can, the best practice is to strain through a fine mesh filter before spraying.

Practice on a piece of cardboard to become familiar with the gun and how it sprays. Every gun sprays differently.

Fluid Control = determines how much material comes out.
Tip Sizes = Changes the size of the spraying pattern.

Always use a respirator when spraying. No one should breath in the fumes.

Start at a 90 degree angle and spray about 6-8 inches of fan pattern.

If any runs or drips occur, take a foam brush and lightly brush it out.

It will take about 1-2 hours for the finish to dry.

TIP

Water based finishes dry faster in hot and dry climates. Add 10-20% Extender to slow the dry time.
