BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING.
What happens here
Before beginning to spray, the presenter dons essential safety gear: a respirator and eye protection. He also highlights the importance of carrying an 'injection card' in your wallet when airless spraying, as accidental paint injection into the skin is a serious injury requiring immediate medical attention and specific treatment information for hospital staff. The spraying technique involves always starting and stopping the spray gun *off* the surface of the door. This prevents 'spits' or uneven paint application that can occur when starting or stopping directly on the surface, especially with smooth finishes. The presenter uses a gun extension to increase his reach and ensure even coverage. Two coats of PPG Breakthrough paint are applied to the front doors, which are described as a mixture of vinyl and metal. The back doors, which are vinyl with a fine grain, are also sprayed, with the paint's high solids content ensuring good coverage without filling in the grain. The paint dries quickly, allowing for a second coat within an hour.
Goal: With proper safety gear, the doors are spray painted using a specific technique to avoid imperfections.
