Watch on YouTube

What happens here

When using an airless sprayer, paint can be kicked up from surfaces being sprayed, or overspray can fall from above, potentially causing debris or paint to enter your eyes. Spraying can also dislodge stucco or other materials, creating projectiles. Chemicals from paint can also cause irritation or damage. Wearing some form of safety eyewear, such as safety glasses or goggles, is crucial to protect your eyes from these hazards. While overspray on your eyewear can sometimes obscure vision, it is always preferable to getting paint or debris directly in your eyes, which can lead to permanent damage.

Goal: Always wear appropriate eye protection when using an airless sprayer to shield your eyes from paint, dust, debris, and chemical fallout.
