How to Get a Flawless Finish Every Time With Airless Sprayers
What happens here
Before applying paint to the window, the presenter highlights a common issue: paint 'spits' that can occur when the sprayer first starts. To prevent these from marring the finish, the recommended technique is to begin spraying on an area adjacent to the window (e.g., a masked wall) to establish a clean, consistent spray pattern. Once the spray is smooth, move the sprayer onto the window to begin painting. He mentions using Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane, which has good leveling properties, helping to hide minor imperfections if any spits still occur.
Goal: To avoid paint spits on the window, always initiate the spray pattern on a sacrificial surface (like an adjacent masked wall) before moving onto the window itself.
