How to control overspray! #paintoverspray #protools #overspray
What happens here
The video opens with a painter demonstrating the technique for spray painting the vertical sections of a garage door frame. The painter uses an airless paint sprayer equipped with an extension wand and a spray gun. Crucially, a large piece of cardboard is held in the other hand, serving as a movable shield. This shield is positioned directly next to the area being sprayed, effectively protecting the garage door panels and the interior garage space from accidental overspray. The painter makes smooth, consistent, and overlapping passes with the spray gun, moving the cardboard shield synchronously with the spray path to maintain continuous protection and achieve an even coat on the vertical frame sections. The sprayer is maintained at a consistent distance and perpendicular to the surface for optimal paint distribution.
Goal: Apply an even coat of paint to the vertical sections of the garage door frame while protecting surrounding areas
