How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer

What happens here

When spraying, identify logical start and stop points to avoid visible 'lap marks' or heavy paint spots. These natural breaks include the end of a wall or a trim piece. Avoid starting and stopping in the middle of a large, open section of siding, as this can create noticeable blemishes that become more apparent as the paint ages. For lap siding, it's crucial to angle the spray gun upwards when spraying. This technique ensures that the paint gets underneath the horizontal laps of the siding, providing complete coverage and preventing unpainted lines.

Goal: Avoid lap marks and ensure thorough coverage under siding laps.
