While this book examines the
spray finishing operation and its
equipment from many viewpoints,
there is still much more to be
learned to become truly proficient
at spray finishing.
The best way to become proficient
at spray finishing is to just do it!
Many trade technical and
community colleges offer courses
in spray finishing, a great way to
improve your skills.
Many of the “tricks” of the
professional spray finisher involve
paints and coatings. The
manufacturers of these materials
routinely publish complete books
on these subjects. These
publications are available in
specialty paint stores and will
provide you with considerable
detail. Many of these books also
contain information on techniques
for surface preparation.
Another important source of
information, particularly on
equipment use and selection is
your local spray finishing
equipment distributor. No book
could ever completely cover a
specialist’s in-depth knowledge of
equipment, techniques,
maintenance and troubleshooting.
Information is available from many
resources on the subject of spray
finishing. It is our hope that this
book will provide you with a start
toward perfecting your finishing
skills.
A recent addition to resources
available to the spray finisher is
the World Wide Web. Many
manufactures are represented and
question and answer forums are
available. Please visit our website

About this book.....
This book has been updated
several times from “The ABC’s of
Spray Equipment,” originally
published by The DeVilbiss
Company in 1954. It focuses on
equipment and techniques for
spray finishing.
The format of the original book was
question-and-answer. We have
retained that format in this edition.
This book is organized around the
major components of an air spray
system… spray guns, material
containers, hose, air control
equipment, compressors, spray
booths, respirators and a short
section on general cleanliness and
other sources of information. A
thorough understanding of the
material in this book - plus a lot of
actual spray painting practice -
should enable you to handle just
about any spray painting situation.
Although we have made an effort
to make this book as detailed and
as complete as possible, be aware
that the equipment and product
systems used to illustrate points
are entirely based on DeVilbiss
technology. DeVilbiss is the world’s
oldest and largest manufacturer of
spray painting equipment, and has
maintained this leadership since its
founding in 1888.
