Spray Station FAQ's

• Q. The spray is very blotchy/splatters. What can I do?
• A. The paint requires thinning further (3.3 ounces to 4.3 ounces of the appropriate thinner).

• Q. What might be wrong if Intermittent spraying occurs?
• A. The pick-up tube is loose. Push in.
• B. The paint container is not tight enough. Hold the paint container and turn the spray gun.
• C. The paint requires more thinning/mixing.

• Q. It has stopped spraying during use. What might be wrong?
• A. The fluid tip may be blocked with paint. Also, check the air feed hole underneath the fluid tip.

• Q. I am getting an 'orange peel' effect. What can I do?
• A. The paint is being applied too thick. Turn the volume down, spray lighter coats, and use a smaller fluid tip and needle.
• B. The paint is drying before it hits the surface. Hold the spray gun closer to the item being sprayed.
• C. Spray Gun is not being held perpendicular to surface. Keep wrist and arm straight and move whole body. Keep spray gun an even distance from surface.

• Q. Can I get different sized fluid tips?
• A. Yes, you can get 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm.

• Q. Will the SprayStation spray exterior latex/masonry paint?
• A. Yes, but with sufficient dilution and a 2.5mm fluid tip. This is better for walls and smaller areas rather than a whole house exterior because you will need to apply approximately 3 coats.

• Q. Do I need to mask anything?
• A. Although there is minimum overspray with HVLP technology you will always get a spray mist in the atmosphere, so it is advisable to mask over appliance sockets, light fittings etc. Also, cover any furniture in the area you are spraying with appropriate sheeting.

• Q. Will the Spray Gun I use spray different types of paint?
• A. Yes, but for different thicknesses different size Fluid Tips are available to achieve an improved finish . For example, 1.5mm for gloss paint or lacquers. (see needle chart for grade)

• Q. Does the viscosity guide cover all types of sprayers?
• A. No, it is only for Earlex SprayStations.

• Q. I have thinned the paint to the correct viscosity but it splatters everywhere, what can I do?
• A. You will need to thin it further. The viscosity test is a general guide to get the paint flowing. The timings can vary amongst various paint manufacturers. Try adding 3.3-4.4 ounces of the appropriate thinner then stir. See more about thinning at How-to section.

• Q. What do I thin the paint with?
• A. Water if water based. White spirit if solvent based. Cellulose if cellulose based.

• Q. Can I spray Hammerite?
• A. It is possible to spray but you will need to thin it nearly 50:50 with Hammerite thinners.

• Q. The paint I want to spray says `for brush or roller use only'. Can I spray this?
• A. This is usually because the paint manufacturer does not test it for spraying, However, most will spray with dilution. Always check with the manufacturer or our service department first.

• Q. Can I use my SprayStation for artificial suntan solution?
• A. No, the unit is not certified for this use or any other use not specified in the instructions. It will also invalidate the manufacturer's guarantee.
