How Pros Paint Exteriors Flawlessly With an Airless Sprayer

What happens here

For top sections of walls or siding that cannot be reached comfortably from the ground, utilize a sturdy ladder. This allows the sprayer to be held at the optimal distance and angle from the surface, preventing stretching, uneven application, or excessive overspray that can result from trying to reach too far. Spray the high sections first, then safely move the ladder out of the way before proceeding to lower areas.

Goal: When painting areas that are out of comfortable reach, use a ladder to maintain the proper spray distance and angle, ensuring even coverage.

What they say

Hide

You want to try to spray the top. If you're not tall enough to spray the top, you want to get on a ladder. So, I typically when I'm spraying, I'll have a short ladder, you know, with me that I could shoot anything I can't reach the top. So, I'm going to come across the top just like that. Get the top done. Get my ladder back out of the way. So, I got to get underneath here. So, I'm going to go.
