The air is going to constantly come out of the gun at all times. Right so we’ll put that aside until we start spraying. The airborne particles are quite dangerous, they’ll get into your lungs and they cause breathing difficulties later on. Ron: When we do any spraying you need to wear a mask. So we’re already anything else we need to do? It doesn’t want to be down because it’ll get in the way of you spraying.Īnnie: Those are really good tips. Ron: So that’s away from you and if you’re left-handed obviously it wants the other way. If you’re right-handed the angle wants to go that way.Īnnie: Oh yes, there’s an angle that way. Make sure it’s fairly tight, it hasn’t got to be super tight, but it wants to be tight. It’s best to do it like this rather than trying to do it up in the air there’s a chance we could spill it. So we’ve got the paint all done and so now what’s the next step. You can just use soapy water as long as you make certain you get everything off. So use a degreaser, there are loads on the market. It’s really important with a kitchen cabinet to clean it because it could be, you know if this has been up in the kitchen it could be very oily and dirty. So you would have taken them all off and you might have a load of them together. If we’re spraying up in the air that wants to be at the back because the paint will automatically go to the back of the gun like that.Īnnie: Wow! So that could be all covered in paint, so you’ve got to take it out and do that.Īnnie: So this is a door from a cabinet, a kitchen cabinet. What we do if we’re going to be spraying downwards, something like a door, we want this tube facing towards the front of the gun.
Ron: So there we go that’s disappearing almost completely, it’s still got a little bit, but I think that will be okay because it’s a very small amount, so if we go with that, I can I think we’ll be fine. If you’ve got layers of thin paint and thick paint what the gun will do it’ll spray the thick paint and then all of a sudden it’ll hit some thin paint and then it’ll go thin and it’ll alter to the finish.Īnnie: So you’ve really, really got to mix well. Ron: We want to make sure it’s all stirred in. If it’s a little bit, that’s fine but anything thicker, the paint will come out and splatter. But you want to get it so there’s no worm cast at all? That paint is disappearing.Īnnie: oh yes, the worm casts are still there. Ron: It’s not quite thin enough, but we are getting there. Ron: we know that it’s the right amount when as you lift the stick it’ll dissipate into itself so you won’t see any of the worm casts, the paint will go straight into itself.Īnnie: So actually if it’s a pot that’s been open for a while, you’ll find it’s got thicker, so you’ll have to add a bit more water there. That’s still too thick so we’re going to put a bit more water in there.Īnnie: So you would never say I’ve just got to add quarter or whatever, you would just go adding until you feel it’s the right amount, and how do you know when it’s the right We add the water slowly, we don’t want to go too thin straight from start. We don’t want to go too full, about just over half full. That’s the whole point about it that you can do thin, thick, spray, washes, textured, all sorts of things. So if you can if you can lift the stick above the paint and you can swirl those lines, they’re called worm casts, that paint is too thick.Īnnie: that is one of the things that people don’t realise that my paint is thick but you can add water to it. Ron: So the paint needs to be thinned for spray application.

There’s also a tube in here that will pressurise the pot, which will force the paint up through the tube and when you pull the trigger the paint and the air will meet and your spray paint onto the surface.Īnnie: So let’s find out how to actually spray paint.
That turbine will force air through the front of the gun, that will atomise the paint, that means break up the paint into small particles. Basically you fill the pot up with paint, you connect the end of the gun to a hose and a turbine. Ron knows all about it: he’s been experimenting a lot with it and you know all about the percentages of water and all the rest of it. Welcome to the warehouse studio! So this is Ron Taylor from the Traditional Painter and he’s going to show me and work with me on showing you how to spray using my paint.
