Controlling Overspray! #goodidea #overspray #tools
What happens here
Before beginning the actual spraying, ensure your airless paint sprayer is properly set up, primed, and filled with your desired paint color. Additionally, obtain a flat, sturdy piece of cardboard that is large enough to act as a shield, protecting the adjacent surface from overspray. The painter in the video is already wearing protective gloves, which are an essential safety item.
Goal: Gather and prepare all necessary tools and materials for spraying with a clean edge.
