What happens here

The presenter begins by clarifying what constitutes a 'full-wrap window' – a window where all sides (jambs, head, and sill) are cased in wood, as opposed to a 'partial wrap' which might include drywall. He then introduces his spray painting setup. This includes a Paint Life hose whip and an ExitFlex Z swivel (1/4" (M) Stainless Steel, 7,500 PSI) attached to the spray gun to enhance flexibility and maneuverability. The main TriTech T5 sprayer unit is kept downstairs, out of the immediate spraying area, to protect its motor from dust and overspray paint. He uses a TriTech 380 two-finger gun, favoring it for control. For the current project involving 3.5-inch baseboards, he selects an ExitFlex 310 tip. He mentions that for larger areas like doors, a 510 tip would be more appropriate. The gun is fitted with an ExitFlex guard that is compatible with various tip brands (Rack X, Rack 5, Titan, TriTech, Bedford, ExitFlex, One Guard). The operating pressure (PSI) for interior trim spraying is set around 2200.

Goal: The presenter defines a full-wrap window and details his paint spraying equipment setup, including a flexible hose whip, a swivel for maneuverability, the sprayer unit, gun, tip, and guard settings.

All right. So, today I'm going to be talking about how I go about spraying a um full wrap window. So, this is a full wrap window right here. And what I mean by that is it's wrapped with wood all the way around. A partial wrap could just be like a sill and then the rest of it is wrapped with drywall. But this is a full wrap window. Very common in Idaho. My setup that I'm using, I've got a Paint Life hose whip. I always run a hose whip on every single sprayer that I use. I've got an exit flex Z swivel right here. Just makes maneuvering the gun even a lot easier. Coupled with a hose whip. So, I'm using a Triek sprayer downstairs. I always keep it out of the area where I'm spraying cuz I don't want it being exposed, the motor being exposed to, you know, dust in the air and overspray paint. Try 380 two-finger gun. I only like two-finger guns. And I'm using a um an exit flex 310 tip. My baseboards are um they're only like 3 and 1/2 in baseboards. 3 in or a 310 tip is good enough for that size of baseboard. Typically, like if I'm doing a lot of doors, I'll be using a 510 tip. I've only got a couple doors, you know, in this room. I've got it in exit flex guard right here. And exit flex guard will run rack X and rack 5 tips. So, it has openings on both sides so you can run all your tips. Rack X, Rex 5, Titan, Trite-C, Bedford, Exit, Flex, One Guard will run everything. So, that's my setup. I usually run my PSI around 2200 when I'm spraying interior trim. I'm going to show you my technique when it comes to spraying a full wrap window, how I go about doing that. All right.
