Prepare and Mask the Door

All right. So, I'm going to give you, you know, a few of my tips and recommendations. You know, how to spray a door. This is actually how to spray a door specifically laying down, cuz it's a little bit different spraying a door laying down versus, you know, standing up. This is the man door going out of a garage. This is kind of a little bit unusual. This is a PVC type door. It's got a smooth finish. It's very critical that you uh prep it properly, dust it properly, mask it properly. I've already painted the opposite side of this door, the interior color. It's the color and the paint of the inside of the garage, the trim of the inside of the garage. So, now we're working on the exterior side. And because it's a smooth door, it's a new house, we want to get this side up perfect. We want it to look, you know, super smooth. We don't want to risk any runs, um, spits, etc. We don't want to deal with it hanging on a jam and with hardware stuff.

It hangs down and whatever you're setting on it, we lay it on buckets, sometimes stack buckets. These are saw horses. There's a lot of different ways you can do it. But you want your paper, you know, tacked down. So when you're spraying, you know, the force of this the sprayer, if you're hitting it this way, it doesn't flip it up onto your freshly painted surface. If it flips it up on the door, you're going to have to immediately wipe that door off, get that paint off, let it dry, and reshoot it and stuff. So I say this because it's happened to me multiple times. paper flipping up. Whether it be outside, you know, cuz the wind flipped it up or whether the pressure from the gun flipped it up. It's happened to me multiple times. Bugs have landed on doors like this multiple times. Beetles walked across it. The cotton from cottonwood trees have landed on it and stuff. So, we're inside of a a protected area so I don't have, you know, or less likely to have any of those um elements, you know, once I spray this door. Now, when we spray a…
