How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer

What happens here

To prevent overspray on ground surfaces, concrete, or adjacent trim that should not be painted, use a cardboard shield. A specialized 'Craft Cardboard Shield Holder' is recommended for easy adjustment without tools. Position the shield holder firmly against the surface you wish to protect, allowing you to spray right up to its edge. This tool helps achieve crisp lines and prevents paint from landing on unwanted areas. When spraying vertical corners or around trim boards, adjust the angle of your spray gun to direct paint specifically into these recessed areas. Angle the gun towards the corner or trim from both directions (e.g., from the left and then from the right) to ensure thorough and even coverage within the tight space.

Goal: Protect adjacent surfaces and ensure thorough coverage in corners and around trim.
