Product Information

If you're painting over existing masonry paint, consider whether the old paint needs to be removed or if it can be painted over. In most cases, the old surface can be repainted as long as the surface has been adequately prepared first to ensure the new paint doesn't peel or flake. But if the old masonry paint is in a bad state, it would be best to remove it altogether. The first port of call when painting any surface is the preparation. Once you have completely cleaned the masonry using a fungicidal wash & made any required repairs to the masonry, mask the surfaces that you do not want to paint. The proper maintenance of spray machines is crucial for their long-term performance. If they are not cleaned properly, they will gain a multitude of issues that can cost you. The clean-up involved with rolling is nothing compared to properly cleaning the spray gun, line, tips, filters & manifold.

If the surface has already been painted, apply a layer of undercoat using a medium to long-piled roller.There are a wide range of masking solutions for various surfaces, from window film to tape & drape. Unlike when rolling, the masking must cover all surfaces that will not be painted, as any overspray will coat these areas. This is not advisable for a couple of reasons. Firstly, masonry paint is not designed to be fully waterproof, and when water pools on the horizontal surface of a paving slab it can therefore penetrate your painted surface. Secondly, masonry paint is designed to be durable but isn’t designed to offer protection against regular footfall. If looking to paint external concrete flooring such as patio slabs, you should use paint that is intended for external flooring. This will offer support against the water and perform well even within a heavy-use patio environment. Can You Use Masonry Paint on Roof Tiles? A well cleaned maintained unit also means less downtime fixing issues that can arise when the machine is mistreated.

The cost involved in spray painting does have an initial surge when you have to buy all of the equipment you will need. Having said this, the time saved in labour & the cost of materials that you save by spraying can see the long-term value of spraying become an attractive proposition. A spray tip will have 3 digits for example: 41 7 . When spraying approx 10" from the surface the fan width will be double the first digit so 4 = 8". The second two digits represent the orifice which will control how much paint is allowed to pass through. This is measured in thousandths of an inch (17= 0.017") A larger fan will cover more area however if you were painting skirting boards you would only need a small fan so you might opt for a 211. Then you would need to consider what speed you want to be moving at because a larger orifice would allow you to apply more paint & work faster so then you could go for 213 instead. Ultimately, both airless & HVLP spray machines are used to spray exterior surfaces, with airless spray machines used for the large broadwall areas such as masonry and HVLP spray machines used for the finishing touches such as doors, soffits& UPVC. Spraying Vs Rolling

Prevent ‘fanning’ by ensuring the gun remains directly in front of the surface. If you don’t do this you will create overspray which will lose you material and it will cause less material to be applied to certain areas, leaving heavy shades on the surface. Prepare: You should get any equipment needed together, and lay out a protective tarp or sheet underneath the area you will be painting.

If there's already masonry paint on the surface you're repainting, you can usually paint over it if you prepare the surface well. However, if the paint is in very poor condition, it's best to remove it first to avoid the fresh paint flaking or peeling.In the airless spray machine range from Tritech, there are four main versions, the T4, T5, T7 & T8. These vary in terms of size, with the T4 being the smallest and T8 being the biggest. If you are going to be doing a lot of exterior painting, the T7 and T8 are more suitable as they can run longer without maintenance, while to T4 and T5 can be great options if you want a smaller and more compact airless spray machine that can be used every so often.
