Spray Horizontal Frame Sections with Shield

How to control overspray! #paintoverspray #protools #overspray
What happens here
Following the vertical sections, the painter shifts their technique to address the top horizontal section of the garage door frame. The same tools and principles are applied: the airless paint sprayer with the extension wand and spray gun, and the indispensable movable cardboard shield. The shield is carefully repositioned to protect the brickwork above the frame and any visible internal garage door mechanisms. Paint is applied with the same smooth, consistent, and slightly overlapping passes, ensuring full and uniform coverage of the horizontal frame section. Maintaining a consistent distance and angle with the sprayer is crucial for achieving an even paint distribution and avoiding drips on overhead surfaces.
Goal: Apply an even coat of paint to the horizontal section of the garage door frame while protecting surrounding areas
