_ Adjust for best results
NOTE:
• Suggested pressure settings listed above are with the gun trigger closed (stall pressure)
• Install a fluid pressure gauge at the outlet maniforld, in order to monitor pressure
• Spray pressure will vary by pump GPM and tip size. Adjust equipment accordingly to match standard
• Only pumps with good pressure control at low pressure levels are recommended
• Diaphragm-type pumps can generally spray a somewhat larger pattern than piston pumps

_ Adjust pressures for best results I. APPLICATION TECHNIQUE
Set material and air pressure to match approved spray out, apply a tack coat to facilitate application. Maintain uniform distance of 18" to 24" between the gun and surface. Aim spray gun directly at surface (spraying at an angle will distort pattern). Spray overlapping each stroke by 50% and crosshatch the same area with vertical strokes to eliminate any lap marks and to achieve full coat coverage.
II. NOTE: Application must be full coat coverage.
If Fine Fleck is not properly applied with full coat coverage the following will occur:• Uneven appearance
• Picture framing
• Lap marks
• Unsatisfactory touchup
• Compromised film properties
Always evaluate color, pattern, and paint delivery rate on mock-up test area while using specific batch of paint with equipment selected for project, and be certain mock-up meets with the approval of specifier prior to beginning project. Color standards and film properties can only be attained when application is full coat coverage. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance of equipment. Observe all warning statements relating to both paint and equipments.
• Avoid application during periods of high humidity and/or when temperature of paint surface or air is below 60º F or above 100º F
• Remove all filters and strainers from spray equipment
• Do not use pressure pot agitator, siphon-type or gravity feed guns
• Use paint with same batch number for specific job. There may be slight differences between batches
III. Final finish may vary from standard due to variations in paint, spray equipment, pressure setting, technique and substrate.
IV. Other spray equipment may be used. Please contact equipment manufacturer for details. NOTE: Length and diameter of hoses will affect pressure required.
