What happens here

Using an airless sprayer, begin painting the body of the house. Start with soffits and fascia, then move to the walls. Maintain consistent pressure and a steady hand to avoid 'fingering' (uneven spray patterns). Overlap each spray pass by 50% to ensure uniform coverage. For rough or textured surfaces like wood grain siding, overspray is less noticeable, allowing for slight adjustments in technique. For smooth surfaces, reducing pressure and using an HEA (High Efficiency Airless) tip can help eliminate fingering for a finer finish. Ensure paint is applied heavily enough to cover effectively without drips.

Goal: Apply paint evenly to the house body and gutters using an airless sprayer.

that so i was just gonna talk a little bit about your controlling overspray and you're watching my spray pattern while i'm spraying you might see a little bit of fingering and kind of some of the trade-off if you increase the pressure you could get rid of more of the fingering but um then you're gonna have more overspray so the fingering's not gonna show up at all you know on this exterior at all because of the wood grain so i'm not concerned about fingering as much as i'm concerned about controlling overspray so um i'm controlling the pressure turning the pressure down a little bit so i don't have overspray given taking a little bit of the fingering so uh with these tips these production tips if i increase the pressure you know at the gun around at 2800 psi i can almost eliminate it get a nice feathered edge but that's only important if i was spraying trim or spraying a door spraying the body of this house you know where it's um a lot of it is wood grain and stuff if you overlap 50 percent make sure you're getting it on heavy enough you're you don't see any fingering at all so just keep that in mind um when it comes to your spray pattern if you use a titan hea tip that will even eliminate um all your fingering and then you can decrease your pressure significantly on your pump down to around a thousand psi at the gun so i'm getting ready to spray this front door now it's been it's a stain grade door that's been painted you multiple times it's got a door knob um it's pretty old and when you're dealing with doorknobs like this that are old it's pretty risky to remove them so uh i'm gonna mask this doorknob off i'm not gonna remove it if you remove it and it's broke the internal parts a lot of times when they're really old the internal parts will come apart and you won't get it back together and i've had to you'll replace doorknobs that were aged and old so i'm going to mask it off and we've had a lot of success masking you just put your masking like a 16th of an inch onto the handle and it's amazing it won't actually get paint on it and you just don't want to mask onto the white at all because then when you pull your masking then you'll see white but we're going a dark blue color though and this doorknob has been on here painted before multiple times and they are not replacing it so i'm just gonna he'll mask this thing off and we're just about ready to spray this thing and i want to get it's going to kind of a vibrant glue so i want to get it sprayed right…
