Airless Spraying SOLO: Painting a House

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin spraying the house exterior, focusing on areas like soffits and overhangs. The dual-head tip extension makes it significantly faster to spray these hard-to-reach areas without straining the neck. Always spray from logical start and stop points, such as the ends of walls, window trims, or corner boards, to avoid heavy spots and flashing. When spraying lap siding, ensure the spray is directed upwards to hit the bottom of the lap boards, providing complete coverage. When spraying corners, use a back-and-forth motion to ensure all angles are covered.

Goal: Apply paint to the house exterior using proper airless spraying techniques.
