Horizonal or vertical?

I have been spraying now with horizontal motions now for 6 months and was thinking about trying the vertical method, or possibly vertical and then horizontal for blending purposes on the second coat. So what is your opinion? Also, I was thinking I would use less soluion and would have less overspray if I just worked vertical. What works best for you? Thanks for your opinions!

Re: Horizonal or vertical?

We do both. Always have. My sister just keeps it vertical. Not sure it would make a difference in the amount of solution used.

Re: Horizonal or vertical?

Thanks for the advice Jenn. I am thinking if it 'ain't broke don't fix it' but it seems there are more veteran sprayers out there (much like you) and I am curious what works best for all of you. I have had some issues w/ legs and was thinking maybe just vertical on the lower half of the body. P.S. Jenn I have utilized a lot of your advice and opinions on the board and wanted to extend a big ol' thank you!

Re: Horizonal or vertical?

I've always done vertical....horizontal is a waste of time and solution .
You also have more chances for uneven color with horizontal.

Re: Horizonal or vertical?

I am certainly going to give it a shot Sonoma. I just got a more expensive solution and it is like gold to me, don't want to lose a drop if possible ;)
Need a new method for doing the arms w/ the vertical. Tricky little devils...

Thanks, that was what I was thinking. I don't want to switch the nozzle but what ever is the best method, I am down! Thanks Jenn.
