How To Keep Pollution To A Minimum Even While Spray Painting A Vehicle

Cars wouldn’t look as good as they look now if paint weren’t spray painted on them. However, while we get to have gorgeous vehicles, the environment suffers from the VOC emission which causes smog. Continue spray painting car and help minimize air pollution by following these steps.

Step 1: Choose Low Pressure (HVLP) Spray

There’s high volume and low pressure HVLP spray that you can use. But if you intend to be more earth-friendly, better opt for the latter starting now.

Step 2: Connect HVLP Spray Paint Gun To Any Traditional Air Compressor

Doing this will lessen the pressure in order to push the paint out of the spray. As a result more paint can be saved plus less unnecessary volatile organic compounds (VOC) will be likely to pollute the air.

Step 3: Know The Types Of Spray Guns

For someone who is in the industry of car servicing, which includes spray painting, you should be aware about the different types of spray guns and which one is better in terms of reducing air pollution.

● Siphon feed (cup below nozzle)—this one need more pressure

●Gravity feed (cup above nozzle)—while this needs less. This is a better choice because over-spraying can be avoided if you use this one.

Step 4: Opt For Paints Which Water Can Be Added

Paint where water can be added maybe under development still, but let’s hope they come up with one that’s more durable. This way more people will patronize them which is great since these paints nullify the use of solvents that we know is a pollutant.
