What happens here

For lap siding, the technique involves spraying at an upward angle to ensure that paint adequately covers the underside of each lap. If you spray straight on, the paint may not reach these hidden areas, leading to incomplete coverage. When moving the gun, hold the trigger down for the entire length of your pass. Releasing the trigger at the end of each pass can help conserve paint, especially on smaller sections, but for speed, some professionals keep the trigger held down.

Goal: Apply paint evenly to lap siding, ensuring coverage under each lap.

trim right here and there another another tip I'm going to show you when spraying we've got these laps right here and this lap kind of curls underneath and you want to make sure your sprayer and then add an angle so it gets underneath that lap so it's pretty critical when I'm down low my spray gun is pointing in an upward direction and then another tip is when you're starting I'm going to start my my spray pattern I'm gonna start spraying here and end over there and if you want to save paint it's good to release your trigger each time if you're just going for speed you can keep your trigger held the whole time and I'll show you both techniques but here we go let me show you what it looks like so I'm down low playing up
