Effortless Door Spraying with the New PaintLine PSDRID Tool | Airless Sprayer Standing Technique

What happens here

Position the PSDID with the mounted door as close as possible to the exhaust fan of your mobile booth. This maximizes the fan's ability to pull overspray and dry dust out of the painting area. When spraying, prioritize the edges of the door first. This allows overspray to settle on the face of the door, which will then be covered by the subsequent face coats, preventing dry edges or flashing. For flat panel doors, ensure a 50% overlap with each spray pass to achieve proper mil thickness and a wet edge throughout the entire painting process, helping the paint gel out nicely. For this, a Tritech 510 fine finish tip is recommended for optimal spray pattern and efficiency when doing multiple doors.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, even paint finish while minimizing overspray and flaws.

now just to give you another little tip too if you have your your PSC ID sitting up out here up front you're using paint Lin's mobile Booth you're going to get you know some dust and and dry dust overspray coming outside your booth now you'll have a tiny bit no matter what but if you have your PSD ID moved back back close to your exhaust fan it's going to have a tendency to just pull more of it out so I move it back pretty close to the exhaust fan so it's going to put pull majority of it out then I'm going to be spraying in a matter that I'm shooting my overspray towards this exhaust fan I don't want to be spraying it you know my thing like this and spraying it so it's shooting the overspray out I'll either start here work my way back and have my door angled towards that exhaust fan that way I just control the amount of dust you coming outside of the booth so let's go we're going to get get ready to spray kind of talk about um some spray techniques when we get the sprayer set up so I'm going to be talking about you know spraying this door right here and some spray techniques how I go about spraying doors how I've been doing it for 25 years now I spray my uh edges the edges of the doors first and I'll just give you and go over kind of like my logic why I do that I'm going to take uh spray this door by by time I get this whole door painted the whole entire thing is going to be saturated with me it's not going to be dry I'm not going to be worried about you know um dry feathers or flashing or anything like that so I'm going to spray my edges it's going to send overspray down this door which if you just left it like that just the edges it would dry and it would be rough so I guess one school thought is you know if I sprayed this first and then spray this second and sent overspray down here it could rough it up but even if I did did just the opposite if I sprayed this first and then this next this is still soaking wet you're sitting overspray right down the door it's going to gel in if you sprayed your door correctly and got it completely saturated with paint now I just do just the opposite I sprayed this first sit over spray down then I sprayed this second and I'm not concerned uh necessarily about it but that's just you know if it was drying so fast I would rather have this all gelled out out and nice and have overspray coming on here and roughing that up so it's just it's kind of like what you prefer to do everybody has their own way of shooting a door this…
