BRICK Makeover --- Simple Steps Painting Brick & Stone

What happens here

Set up your paint sprayer, such as a Titan 440 pump, with a 30-inch extension and a 515 tip. Crucially, reduce the pressure to about 1100-1200 PSI to ensure the stain absorbs rather than bounces off the surface. The solid color stain should be used unthinned. Then, thoroughly mask off all areas not meant for staining. For brick, use 1.5-inch painter's tape because its stronger adhesive ensures better sticking and prevents bleed-through on the rough surface.

Goal: Configure the sprayer and protect surrounding surfaces.
