Use the masking tape and paper to mask the area that
should not be sprayed.

• Ventilate when spraying paint. Most paint
contains substances that are harmful if inhaled
or swallowed. Read the paint label before
opening the paint container.
• Avoid contact with skin. Wear an approved res-
pirator, gloves, eye protection and appropriate
clothing when painting.
• Paint is flammable. Store it in a safe place, and
keep it away from sparks, flames or cigarettes.

proved, 210 kPa (2.1kgf/cm

, 30 psi) air nozzle.
• Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye
injury.
• The coating thickness should be 20-25 microns.

away from the paint film.
-2. Sanding
Lightly dry sand the whole area to be painted with
#600, #800 sandpaper.

, 30 psi) air nozzle.
• Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye
injury.
NOTE: Clean the whole surface to help the masking
tape adhere securely.

• Spray the top coating. Spray until the primer sur-
facer is covered.

or swallowed. Read the paint label before
opening the paint container.

pirator, gloves, eye protection and appropriate
clothing when painting.
