Airless Spraying SOLO: Painting a House

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before starting to spray on the surface, prime the airless sprayer. This involves running paint through the prime tube first to clear out any air and ensure the sprayer is ready. The presenter turns on the sprayer, sets the pressure to around 2200 PSI, and activates the spray mode to begin priming. After priming, he places the prime tube into an empty bucket of water to prevent air from entering the system. Then, he puts a wet rag over the exposed paint in the main bucket to prevent it from skimming over.

Goal: Prepare the sprayer for painting by removing air from the system.
