Before spraying, the material being used
may need to be thinned with the proper
solvent as specified by the material
manufacturer. Two basic methods of
thinning material are explained below.
THE VISUAL REDUCTION METHOD
This is the simplest method available
and can be used in most cases. To
start, simply mix in the appropriate thin-
ner until material looks to be the right
consistency. To test for proper viscos-
ity dip a paint stir stick into the material
then remove it. Watch carefully as the
material runs off and begins to form
drops. These drops should be about
one second apart as a general rule of
thumb.
MATERIAL TO BE SPRAYED
Oil Enamel
Oil Based Primer
Oil Stain
Clear Sealer
Polyurethane
Varnish
Lacquer sanding sealer
Lacquer
Automotive Finishes
The FINECOAT™ SYSTEM can spray some thinned latex paints, but for large flat areas where heavy
bodied latex is to be applied we recommend a Wagner 200 or 300 Series airless sprayer.
PAINT PREPARATION
THE VISCOSITY CUP METHOD
The chart below gives the approximate
times for this method. All measurements
are taken with the Wagner viscosity cup
included with your system. To use this
method simply dip the cup in the mate-
rial and then remove, noting the time it
takes for the cup to empty.
Material to be sprayed should al-
ways be strained to remove any
impurities in the paint which may
enter and clog the system. Impuri-
ties in the paint will give poor per-
formance and a poor finish as well
as premature wear to moving parts.

FILL CONTAINER
After the paint has been properly
thinned and strained fill the paint con-
tainer to the bottom of the neck. Before
screwing the paint container back onto
the gun body inspect the cup seal to be
sure there are no cuts or rips in the seal
which could lead to poor performance
of the spray gun. Screw the paint
container onto the gun body tightly.
Now simply plug the turbine into a 110
volt power source and turn it on by
pushing the rocker switch to the " I"
position and you are ready to begin
painting. THE "I" POSITION ON THE
ROCKER SWITCH TURNS THE UNIT
ON ,AND THE "O" POSITION TURNS
THE UNIT OFF.
NOTE
The spray gun will not spray in the
upside down position because the
paint suction tube must be im-
mersed in the paint.
