What happens here

Using an airless sprayer, apply paint to the body of the house. Start with a 515 tip for general application. When spraying lap siding, angle the gun slightly upwards to ensure paint gets underneath the laps for full coverage. Always use a cardboard shield to protect nearby surfaces and footings from overspray, moving it along as you spray. To save paint and create clean finishes, release the trigger at the end of each pass rather than holding it down continuously. Utilize a 30-inch gun extension to reach higher areas without needing a ladder, reducing physical strain and increasing efficiency.

Goal: Efficiently apply paint to the main body of the house using an airless sprayer

last process of painting your house. 515 tip on here. We're using a cardboard shield and holder. This is I typically when I'm spraying, always got a cardboard shield and holder that I use to help shield off the bottom to keep any overspray off my footings. We got a drop faucet down here just in case anything drips on the concrete. Um, we don't want to get any drips on the concrete. We got our 695 set up over there on the side. And I've got a massive respirator I always use while I'm spraying. And we're going to take and spray. And we're going to typically look for um good start and stop points because you don't want to start and stop in the middle of the house. You always want to have logical start and stop points. These are good start and stop points. the corner and a batting board right here coming down the middle. We've got over here this other section. We got a batting board here and a down batting board over here, which are good starting stop points. But you try the best you can. So, we'll start down here. We've already sprayed the bottom, but I'll show you on video. I use a cardboard shield tap underneath doing my from end to end. I'll actually spray inside. This is a really dark color. So, you got these holes. You want to make sure it's um dark over light. So, you want to make sure you spray get an angle. Get inside those holes. And then when I'm spraying my lap sighting, you want to make sure you get underneath the lip. So, when I'm spraying, I'm not spraying straight on. I'm actually spraying at an angle. Shooting up at an angle. I always release my trigger and my two start and stop. It actually saves you paint instead of trigger do it, but you you use more paint doing so. So I So now with this 30-in gun extension, I can reach higher. I don't need to get on a ladder and I can reach farther. So I don't have to walk as much. So using a gun extension is going to keep you from walking as much. keep you from bending over as much and keep you from having to reach with the ladder as high. So, using this gun extension, you can see that the reach I got [Music] Heat. Heat.
