What happens here

Begin the deck painting or staining process by using a paint sprayer equipped with an extension wand. Hold the sprayer at a consistent distance from the deck surface, typically 10-12 inches, and move it in smooth, overlapping passes. The sprayer quickly applies a uniform layer of paint or stain, effectively covering the flat surfaces and reaching into the gaps between deck boards. Focus on even coverage without over-saturating a single area to prevent runs. The color being applied in the video appears to be a light blue-gray.

Goal: Apply an initial, even layer of paint or stain to the deck boards using a sprayer.
