Airless Spraying The Right Way? Painting with an airless sprayer
What happens here
When painting high sections of a building, particularly if working alone, it's not always possible to have ideal logical start and stop points. In such cases, strategize to work on the side of the building that is currently in shade. This extended drying time allows you to maintain a 'wet edge' as you move across the surface or reposition ladders. Critically, avoid spraying high sides in direct sunlight if you cannot consistently maintain a wet edge, as dry paint can quickly lead to noticeable flashing or lap marks. Adapt your approach to the conditions to ensure the best possible finish.
Goal: When working on high sides, especially alone, prioritize spraying during cooler, shaded conditions to maintain a wet edge and avoid flashing.
