What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the first phase of spraying. He positions himself to start spraying off the window frame, onto the masked wall. This ensures that any initial 'spits' from the gun, which can occur at the very beginning of a spray, do not land on the window trim. He then moves the gun onto the vertical side of the window frame, spraying upwards with a steady, controlled motion. He then transitions to the top horizontal section, spraying across, and finally moves down the other vertical side. The key is to maintain a continuous spray without releasing the trigger during these passes, which helps prevent unwanted splatters and ensures an even coating. This sequence establishes a wet base on the sides and top, preparing for the sill.

Goal: The actual spraying begins by starting on the adjacent wall to capture initial spits, then moving to the window's vertical sides and top section with continuous, even passes.

going to see it, but I'll typically start, you know, right here. A lot of times I'll just start off and so I'll get my spit on the wall and then I'll come up and start working on my project. I typically, you know, do a full wrap window like this and then I come back. So, I'm doing the w the sides and the top. And I come back and do the sill last cuz I want the paint loaded up on that sill really well. So, I'll do the sill and the bottom. You could, you know, if you were able to take and spray this thing and come all the way across all in one shot. That would be extremely talented but difficult to do. So, I break it up, you know, into two parts. So, and I start on my face. After I do my edges, I do the face, come up, come around, and then I do after I do the face, I do the edge at an angle. So, I hit the edge at an angle, come back, and then I hit this face at an angle, and I do not release my trigger when I'm doing that. Cuz when you release your trigger, you cause a spit. I can already see like my reach is really difficult. That's a really tough reach. I have to be on my toes, you know, to reach that. So, typically if I'm having a problem reach-wise, I'll put on a 6 in gun extension, which will give me better reach. I'm right there at the brink, you know, of my reach, and I think I can do it without putting an extension on. I'll
