Talk:Spray painting

Suggestions

- Why not include into this "Spray Painting" article a reference to "Aerography" (technic) and "Aerograph" (tool)? - Would "aerography" fit in section 2. "Semi-professional spraypainting"? - Is there any difference between "airbrush" and "aerograph" or are they just synonyms?

Inadequate

What does cfm mean when we're not talking about ~1 atmosphere? Does it mean a cubic foot at nozzle pressure?, at line pressure? or does it mean 1 cu. ft. at 1 atm? Also, I see virtually zero information on traditional high pressure spraying.Abitslow (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Safety and regulations

Coverage of safety and regulations is seriously lacking in this article. Spray painting can pose serious health, safety, and air and water pollution risks if not performed correctly. Fire and dust explosions are also major concerns. This essential process can be done safely, but great care must be taken, and safety regulations complied with. Can anybody add some info regarding guidelines and regulations? Reify-tech (talk) 16:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not give advice (see WP:NOTADVICE). We do have an article Spray paint safety but it is all advice and needs to be rewritten (or merged and rewritten). It could be redone to report what reliable sources say re:"X and Y Occupational Health and Safety groups/governmental organizations note serious health, safety..... air and water pollution risks....fire.....dust explosion....etc".

I am not suggesting that detailed advice be added beyond the scope of Wikipedia, but rather that the basic issues be mentioned, and references to WP:RS be added. Reify-tech (talk) 16:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

I think putting up a redirect at Spray paint safety and merging to this article would work. Material could then be edited for WP:TONE. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:28, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Somebody put up an orphan merger tag at Spray paint safety in 2015, but failed to follow through with the the procedure in WP:MERGE, so nothing happened (which was the correct outcome in the absence of followthrough). You could propose a merger using the correct protocol for involving any interested editors, and seek a consensus for a merger. Reify-tech (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

As discussed above, I've added new merge templates, linked to the discussion here. I also support the merge, so formally propose it on the grounds that the target benefits from the new material, which is needed, and the incoming material gains through context.

There should definitely be a section on health and safety in spray painting. It is well known as a hazardous occupation. If the Spray paint safety article after cleanup is small enough then they could be merged, but if the merged article will be too large, then leave them as two articles. It is more important that the article or articles should be useful and not missing important content that how many articles there are, and if they remain separate, they should be appropriately linked - a {{main}} link to spray paint safety from the safety section in Spray painting. (ping me if you want more input) Cheers · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 13:47, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
