How should I thin paint for use with the spray gun?

Thin the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use clean water for water-based paints and the specified thinner for other paints. Avoid over-thinning and always strain the paint before spraying.
What is the correct spraying technique for an even finish?

For smooth, consistent results, follow these guidelines:

Distance

Hold the spray gun 10–30 cm (4–12 in.) from the surface. Maintain a consistent distance throughout the entire project.

Motion & Overlap

Move the spray gun in smooth, parallel strokes at a steady speed of approximately 30–60 cm (12–24 in.) per second. Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage and help prevent streaks.

Orientation

Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface at all times. Avoid tilting or arcing the gun to maintain a uniform finish.

Pro Tip: Keep the gun moving before pulling the trigger, and release the trigger before stopping to help prevent uneven buildup.
