What happens here

Hold the assembled sprayer with the brush attachment firmly. Position the brush against the siding, typically starting at an edge, corner, or trim area, as demonstrated in the initial active painting frames. Begin spraying paint by pulling the trigger while simultaneously moving the brush along the surface. The brush should follow immediately after the spray, working the paint into the siding texture and ensuring a clean, consistent line. This technique is ideal for 'cutting in' edges, where precision is needed, and for filling in the seams and overlaps of siding planks.

Goal: Apply paint with a brushed finish, focusing on edges and seams for clean lines and full coverage.
