What is a perfect spray jet?
A perfect spray jet is the basis for high-quality and even painting results. In this article, we will show you what an ideal spray jet looks like and what its distinguishing features are.
What does a perfect spray jet look like?
An optimal spray jet consists of two main areas:
- Homogeneous fan core: the central area of the spray jet, in which the paint particles are evenly distributed.
- The outer area of the spray jet where the paint particles gently thin out to allow for soft transitions without visible edges.
The perfect spray fan is symmetrical and even, with clearly defined areas. It ensures an even coat of paint and a high-quality finish.
Why is a homogeneous fan core important?
The fan core ensures that the paint is applied evenly, without gaps or irregular paint distribution. This is crucial for a professional painting result.
What role does the run-out zone play?
The run-out zone enables smooth transitions and avoids visible edges. An even run-out zone is particularly important for overlaps and larger areas.
