What happens here

While waiting for the paint on the side door to dry, the painter spray paints several downspouts. He places them horizontally on drop cloths. He notes that although a 310 tip would be ideal for downspouts, he is using a 517 HEA tip because the paint he's using is struggling to spray through smaller tips. He sprays three sides of the downspout, lets them dry, then flips them over to spray the remaining side.

Goal: Efficiently paint downspouts.

Now my door is ready to spray. And I'm just going to push it open slightly right here so I can um see the edges. Those edges. I'm going to shoot at an angle. got it on there. Um, the door's got a lot of checking in it and I'm probably going to have to do some back rolling and back brushing. There's no They have no weather strip on the bottom of it, so it's getting water up underneath the door. Um, which is not a good thing. Um, so I'm going to do some back brushing, back rolling, and then spray it again. Got the tip is running at the gun. Um, 1,200 PSI at the gun. um with that HA tip. It's not ideal to shoot that with doors, but um using this PPG paint, um I'm not finding very many options to spray, you know, tipwise that we would typically be spraying. We use a high production tip, which wouldn't give it, you know, so much build and the the droplets of paint wouldn't be so big. It's not ideal for a typical door, but this being wood and a lot of checking, you're not going to notice that. So, um, I'm going let it dry, um, and back brush back roll back brush and paint and spray it again. Right. I'm waiting for that side door to dry. So, I'm just going to shoot these down spouts. You know, right now I um, typically would shoot a down spout, I'd have a 310 tip in here, but um, this paint's been struggling, you know, spraying through smaller tips. So, I've still got this 517 HA that it's working with, which is going to cause more overspray, but I got a drop cloth down, so I'm not too worried about that. So, we'll just spray the three sides, let it dry, flip it over, and then spray the other side. Now, that'll dry pretty fast out here in the sun. And then we'll shoot um flip it over and shoot the other side. Okay,
