4. Mode d'emploi

Suivez ces étapes pour une pulvérisation efficace et sûre.

4.1 Preparing the Paint

Ensure paint is properly mixed and strained to remove any lumps or debris that could clog the sprayer.

4.2 Technique de pulvérisation

1. Tenez le pistolet à peinture perpendiculaire à la surface, en maintenant une distance constante (généralement 10 à 12 pouces).
