Hey Arcee…you’re right.
1) …”only enough to spray the paint”…
And…this way is a way to find that certain pressure…= by boosting all the way…spray…then back it off a quarter turn…spray…back it off a quarter turn…etc. So, everything is looking good. You’ll get there.
I don’t blame you for being careful. It’s all new…a new machine…venture…etc. You’re doing fine.
That 56 space job sounds nice. My first job took me 4 hours. I went back 4 years later and knocked it out in 45 minutes…AND IT LOOKED MUCH BETTER THE SECOND TIME…! Plus…I billed twice as much. So…I cannot wait to see where you are in a year…
Next…the curb is a type of long line…unless you’re talking about roads. I love roads. Anyhow…practice with water…spraying at a 45 degree angle.
You’ll get it.
Last…try either the SW Set Fast…or the PPG brand. SW has two solid contents…50% and 57%. Try whichever they carry.
PPG is creamier I believe the Part Numbers are 11-53 and 11-54…White and Yellow Resp.
Let me know.
