What happens here
With the area masked and the sprayer ready, begin applying the paint or primer to the wainscoting. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface, typically 8-12 inches, and move the sprayer in smooth, even strokes, slightly overlapping each pass. Start with horizontal passes, then vertical passes, or vice versa, to ensure full and even coverage, especially within the grooves of the wainscoting. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat to prevent drips and ensure a professional finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats if multiple coats are necessary.
Goal: Apply an even coat of paint to the wainscoting.
