(2,501 characters)thing in one coat. Now, typically when I'm spraying doors, I'm using fine finish tips. On this door, I'm using a Triek 510. So, I'll either use a 510 or 310. Those are the two tips I use. A 510 is just going to make you be able to paint it in less passes faster. Less passes means less likelihood of spits or things going wrong. So, you want to get your gun set up. Gun set up. I like to use extensions a lot of the time cuz I can reach all all the way across the door and and and shoot it down with an extension. This door is not too bad, but if I can't reach all the way across safely, then you know, I'll do three cores of the door, walk to the other side, and shoot the door. But here, I don't have to worry about edges. The edges are all masked off. The sides of it are the inside color. I'm just spraying the face. So, I'm going to just spray the face of it. Now, spraying the face. I have angles right here um on this door. This um the raised sides right here, lowered panel right here. So, keep conscious and aware. I don't want to spray against that cuz I won't get it covered 100%. I want to spray directly down on it. And I'm going to start spraying the door. You never want to start spraying on the door cuz even though there's no extension, you could get a spit. So, I'm going to start spraying off the door. Come all the way off the door on the opposite end and do your passes off the door. Never start on the door. Never stop on the door. or when I'm done, I don't release the trigger right here either, cuz you can get a spit there. Also, if you're using a short extension or any type of extension, the longer the extension, the larger the spit you're going to get and more spit. So, I'm not using an extension at all um right now, but your gun uh even without an extension can spit. You got, you know, holes right here that could kick dust out of the holes. Probably should stuff paper down in those holes, you know, to keep dust from kicking out of there. We dusted it off. Dust it off with a duster brush, then wiped it off with a microfiber cloth. If you have to do any sanding, you want to do your sanding of the door. Um, if it's been painted before and it's a gloss or something like that, you want to definitely del gloss that by mechanically sanding it. But this is a primed uh PVC door. Bottoms and tops don't need to be uh painted on this style of door. You'll know cuz the door will have a warning thing right here saying, you know, in order for, you know, uh the warranty…
