This actually has a lifetime warranty on the paint. But you won't get that warranty unless you get the proper mill thickness. And that takes a lot of practice. I know how fast I need to travel. If I go too fast, I'm not going to get the proper thickness. If I go too slow, it could get heavy and run. You'll see me just going at a nice slow steady pace and overlapping 50% as I go. You can also see this house, we've actually primed it and back rolled anything that needed to be back rolled or primed prior to spraying. Once I spray my final coat, I don't do any back rolling after I spray the final coat. So, I do all my back rolling first. So now I'm working around this window and I got inside this section here and I'm definitely want to shoot it inside those holes. So I'm just going to work right down that section. And now I'll start working from top to bottom. Just like that. Working my slow, steady speed and my 50% overlap. When when I'm spraying around windows, you definitely want to spray the top of the window trim right there. So, you definitely got to get on a ladder and you got to shoot down at an angle to get that. Hopefully, you can see once I was working my way up top and I've got a a down batting board right here and that was a full length a 16 ft length of siding. And my logical start and stops was from that piece of trim over there to this corner board. And it's really difficult cuz you got to get up on a 24ft ladder and and you can't actually reach all the way from those pieces. So if you can get two two 24 ft ladders, you can walk up one, spray as far as you can down and walk up the other one before it dries and then work it that way. And you're trying to keep a wet edge while you're spraying. But sometimes it's pretty difficult. But you can actually with a 30-in extension, you can reach pretty high. So the bulk of your house, if you got a single story house, it's pretty simple. You got a two-story house, a little bit harder. But the bulk of your house, you can work your logical start and stop points very easily. Couple other simple tips. Drop cloths,
