Airless Spraying SOLO! Gables and Garage Doors.

What happens here

The painter moves to a side door of the house. He first removes the exterior light fixture to prevent it from getting overspray. He then masks the interior door frame using 1.5-inch FrogTape (blue medium adhesion) and covers the doorknob with masking paper. He then sprays the door, demonstrating the technique of slightly pushing the door open to spray the edges and then spraying the face of the door at an angle. He notes that the specific type of wood door with 'checking' means a high-production tip (like a 515 HEA) might not be ideal but will work without visible flaws.

Goal: Paint the side door while protecting surrounding fixtures and interior.

I'm going to spray this door. I've got a light here. I'll remove this light, too, at the same time. I don't want to get any overspray on the light. When I was doing lights, numbers and downspouts, I didn't even see this light. So, I'll remove this guy and then mask this door off. Spray the door. And this is like if I'm um working as a crew, like a threeman crew or so, the the body, this is the same color as the body. We're going to do it all at the same time. But when I'm working by myself, I'm going to tackle like small things at a time. Like I'm going to just tackle all the doors. And then when I come back and spray the body, I'm just going to spray this, open this door, and just shield and spray around it so I don't get any overspray on the newly sprayed door. But I won't have to come and do as much masking when I spray the body because this will already be masked off and sprayed. So going to um remove this light.
