What happens here

Painting stucco corners can pose challenges such as overspray onto adjacent surfaces or missing areas within the corner's texture. The fourth professional tip demonstrates using a cardboard shield holder. To prepare, attach a piece of cardboard to a gun extension, typically a 30-inch extension, fitted with a 515 spray tip. Set the airless sprayer to approximately 2200 PSI. When spraying, position the cardboard shield along the adjacent wall you wish to protect. Spray the paint into the corner using controlled movements, allowing the shield to block any potential overspray. This method ensures clean, sharp lines, thorough coverage of the textured corner, and prevents paint from accidentally coating unintended areas, especially important in variable weather conditions where overspray can carry further. Always remember to wear a respirator for safety.

Goal: Neatly and efficiently paint stucco corners without overspray or missed spots.
