FAQs on paint spray systems
Whether battery-powered or corded, Bosch paint sprayers are exceptionally easy to use. That said, you’ll still likely have a few questions about the device. Read the following FAQs to find out more about these revolutionary machines!
You should aim to stand around 15-25cm away from the object you are spraying. This distance depends on the spray gun you are using, but it should remain constant throughout the entire process for the best results. Always hold the paint sprayer straight in front of you.
Thin substances like wood varnishes, oils and lacquers can be used without diluting them. For substances that can be thinned, such as lacquer paints, primers and radiator paints, we recommend thinning them up to 10% before application. For emulsion and thicker paints, we suggest at least 5% thinning. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when thinning paint, as this may differ from our recommendations.
Any leftover paint in the container can be poured back into the bucket, which can be stored for a while if airtight. However, any paint that has been thinned should be used immediately.
To keep your paint spray gun in the best condition, always clean it immediately after use to prevent any paint residue from drying inside. To clean, remove all paint containers and rinse them with warm water, or use additional thinner if required. Detailed instructions can be found in the user manual.
Unlike when working with a roller or brush, everything in the room that you don’t want painted should be covered and protected. This applies to windows, doors, radiators, and furniture. Objects can be covered with cling film, fleece or tarpaulin.
Paint sprayers produce fine mists of paint particles through the air, so you should always wear protective clothing, including a mask and goggles, when working. Respiratory masks with filters are recommended when using paint, as this protects you from both fine paint droplets and toxic fumes. Painting work is best done outdoors, but failing this, always keep your windows open.
