How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer

What happens here

When working on high areas or areas with super high peaks, it's crucial to consider logistical strategies to avoid lap marks and ensure a wet edge. Ideally, spray these areas when they are in the shade, or in the early morning when temperatures are cooler. If spraying in direct sunlight is unavoidable, the paint will dry very quickly, making start/stop marks more likely. For very high sections, instead of continuously moving a single ladder, use multiple extension ladders ('ladder hopping'). Position three to four extension ladders lined up along the high section. One person can move along these ladders, spraying as they go. This allows for continuous spraying across the length of the high section, maintaining a wet edge and preventing marks. If 'ladder hopping' is not feasible, ensure there is a dedicated person to quickly move ladders up and down, allowing the sprayer to move efficiently and maintain the wet edge.

Goal: Achieve seamless paint application in high and challenging areas.

on a ladder to avoid overlap can you avoid it so that's a good question is once this is right here we'll be getting up on a ladder but my ladders I can reach one of the things that's one thing nice about this is I can still reach up here and not house start and stops in the middle of a high peak but when you get on to super high peaks here's what we do and super high peaks where you got to be on a 24 foot ladder and there's no way to have a largest logical start and stuff we'll get three ladders three to four extension ladders lined up and probably shouldn't say this because it's not necessarily approved but we ladder hop and so people you'll just be spraying along and you'll just move from ladder to ladder spraying those high sides if you don't want a ladder hop and move from ladder the ladder up top you just go up and down the ladders and I'll have one guy that's just hopping the ladder so you'll quickly go up and down the ladders and you want it to be shaded if you do it in the Sun you're going to get you know start and stop marks because if the paint's can be drying so fast so right here this site is on the Sun if it's a high side it's not ideal to spray wait till the Sun gets on the other side of the house and then spray this walks in the shade so that if sometimes it's you can't get where it's shaded and another tip is do those sides in the morning when it's really cool but that's you the tip is is they have multiple ladders on that side and have somebody moving those ladders so you can get up and down those ladders quickly so your overlaps stay left because you have you have to have a wet edge in order not to see those lap marks it's a very good question the question
