Water Based Spray Paint

How to Mix Water Based Paint for Spraying?

1. Preparation: Ensure the spray painting water based paint is at room temperature. Stir the paint thoroughly to achieve a consistent texture.

2. Viscosity Check: Use a viscosity cup to measure the paint’s thickness. The water based clear coat spray should flow freely but not be too watery.

3. Dilution: Gradually add water (for water based spray paint) in small increments, stirring constantly. Aim for a 10-20% water to paint ratio, depending on 

the paint’s original viscosity and the sprayer’s requirements.

4. Testing: Test the thinned paint on a piece of cardboard or scrap material to ensure it sprays evenly without clogging the nozzle.

5. Adjustments: If necessary, adjust the mixture by adding more paint or water until the desired consistency is achieved for smooth spraying.

6. Strain: Strain the water soluble spray paint through a fine mesh filter to remove any lumps or impurities that could block the spray gun.

7. Spray Gun Setup: Fill the spray gun with the mixed paint, and adjust the spray pattern and flow according to the paint spray suppliers' instructions.

8. Clean Up: After spraying, clean the spray gun and all equipment with water immediately to prevent the paint from drying and clogging the mechanisms.
