Spray painting I just cannot get the hang of it.

Would like to try airless, but that's another thread.

I need to paint the shed 12m*7m, zincalume mulitclad profile.

You have 4 controls:

Air pressure [any thoughts]

3 Controls on the gun:
Amount of air
The amount of product [paint]
The spray pattern.

I know a still day is needed.

The gun and pot I believe are of reasonable quality.

Apart from that I'm not even sure if I use vertical strokes [up down] or horizontal strokes [left right].

Guidance and thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi - I recently found this on the Bunnings website:

It covers both can spraypainting and a spraypainting gun.
