Dexter spray guns

It is not difficult to paint the walls of a house or garage, a fence or a shed, especially if you do not act in the old fashioned way (with a roller or a brush), but take a spray gun in your hands. This is a device designed for fast and uniform painting of any surfaces. In this article we will talk about Dexter brand devices, their distinctive qualities, consider some popular models, and also briefly tell you how to use a spray gun at home.

The advantages of Dexter coloring devices include:

• light weight and compactness of products;

• ergonomic design;

• ease of use;

• good paint quality;

• affordability.

Common disadvantages include low power, insufficiently secure hose attachment and overheating of the device during prolonged operation.

In stores, you can find both electric models powered by the network, and manual pneumatic spray guns for paints and varnishes. For clarity, the main characteristics are arranged in a table.

Electric models:

Before work, it is necessary to protect all objects not intended for painting - cover them with newspapers, cellophane or old unnecessary cloth, because when the paint is sprayed, part of it (from 20 to 40%) remains in the form of an air suspension and settles on the floor and other surfaces. Therefore, do not be lazy, limit the scope of work, so that later you do not have to wipe paintwork from glass or furniture.

Do not forget about airing the room and your own protection (masks, gloves, respirator) - paint fumes are harmful to the body. Before filling the colorant into the tank of the device, check its uniformity - remove all lumps and foreign inclusions. Thin with solvent and stir well - paint that is too thick and viscous is not suitable for spraying.

Be sure to test the trail (the so-called torch) before painting - make sure that the paintwork lies flat, without drips. The presence of sagging indicates increased pressure and the need to adjust the pressure.

You need to paint both horizontally and vertically - if you apply the first layer, for example, along the door, then do not be lazy next, walk across - this way you will achieve a uniform surface staining.

And also do not forget that for different coloring emulsions it is necessary to select suitable nozzle tips, the use of smaller diameters can lead to clogging and damage to the apparatus. The sizes of the nozzles are usually indicated in the instruction manual of the device.

One of the main rules for using spray guns is regular, thorough and timely flushing of the device after use.... There are also nuances here - the washing solution must be selected taking into account the dye used.

Be careful and careful, and your device will serve you for a long time.
