How Should Automotive Clear Coat Be Sprayed?

The most basic requirement for automotive spray painting is maintaining stable air pressure, with the recommended pressure being 6-8 bars! Then adjust the spray gun fan size according to your preference. When spraying, each pass should overlap the previous one by 1/3, ensuring even coverage. First and foremost, when painting a car, do not add too much thinner; it's better to use a little less. When applying the first coat of paint, it's crucial to estimate the amount correctly. If it's insufficient, mix black or white paint with the original paint as a base, then cover it with the original paint. In cold weather, make sure the first coat is completely dry before applying the second coat. If the gloss is too high, pay special attention to the spray gun distance and speed for the second coat. The first clear coat should be applied fully to achieve gloss, with a slightly longer flash-off time in between. This initial coat primarily serves to smooth the paint surface, setting the stage for the second clear coat. If the second, slightly thicker clear coat is applied evenly, it can achieve the best leveling effect.
