Abstract:
A spray apparatus that includes a stand, a motor secured to the stand, a spray applicator secured to the stand, and a rotatable disc secured to the stand relatively above the spray applicator such that the rotatable disc is positioned within a spray field of the spray applicator. The rotatable disc is coupled to the motor such that the rotatable disc is configured to rotate in response to activation of the motor. The rotatable disc is configured to receive an overspray from the spray field to generate a spray pattern from the spray applicator. The apparatus includes a scraper positioned in fixed engagement with the rotatable disc, where the scraper is configured to remove accumulated overspray from the rotatable disc.
