How to AIRLESS SPRAYING Prep for Exteriors

What happens here

With the paint and tools ready, apply a preliminary coat of paint (referred to as 'pre-priming') to the lower sections of the house and other areas prone to sun and moisture damage. This includes the siding near the ground, around window frames, and corners. Use a 4-inch roller for broad areas and a 3-inch ChinaX brush for cutting in edges and detailed work. The goal is to provide an additional layer of protection and ensure better adhesion for the final spray coat, especially in areas that tend to absorb more moisture or endure harsh weather.

Goal: Apply an initial coat of paint to susceptible areas for enhanced protection and adhesion.

Tools and materials

2-Gallon Cut-In Bucket with Paint — Holding and supplying paint during the pre-priming process
3-Inch ChinaX Brush Wooster — Cutting in around edges, trim, and tight spots
4-Inch Roller — Applying paint to the siding and other broad areas
Gloves — Protecting hands from paint
