What happens here

The worker, wearing a full respirator and protective eyewear, begins the process of spray painting. They use an airless paint sprayer, holding the gun at a consistent distance (approximately 8-12 inches) from the surface. The application starts by moving the sprayer horizontally along the baseboards, ensuring a uniform coat. After completing the horizontal passes on the trim, they transition to smooth, overlapping vertical passes on the lower wall section directly above the baseboard. The floor is covered with protective sheeting, and the window is masked with painter's tape and paper to prevent overspray on unintended surfaces.

Goal: Achieve an even and smooth coating on baseboards and lower walls using spray painting technique.
