Proper care for your spray guns: Dust, poorly measured formulas, dirty spray booth filters, technicians not wearing their suits and hoods and poor spraying technique can wreak havoc on your work —producing poor, flawed finishes whose follow-up repairs diminish efficiency and cut profits!
When it comes to your paint department, little things really do mean a lot. Dust, poorly measured formulas, dirty spray booth filters, technicians not wearing their suits and hoods and poor spraying technique can wreak havoc on your work —producing poor, flawed finishes whose follow-up repairs diminish efficiency and cut profits.
Consider then the potential problems caused when your most important painting tool, the spray gun, isn’t functioning properly. Faulty guns produce these same poor finishes, often to a worse degree.
Yet, many shops overlook the proper care of this crucial tool, often until it meets an early demise and needs replaced. By then, the shop has two expensive issues to address — a string of jobs that need costly re-dos and investment in a new gun (which typically prices out at $600).
All this can be avoided by investing a few extra minutes daily and weekly spent cleaning and caring for spray guns according to manufacturer specifications. Use these general recommendations as a guide.
