How To Spray A House With A Paint Sprayer. House Painting Instructions. home improvement painting

What happens here

Begin by gathering all necessary equipment: an airless sprayer, a 515 tip (a common and effective size for exterior siding), and a spray gun extension. Extensions typically range from 6 inches to 30 inches and help reduce walking and bending during the spraying process. Ensure your sprayer is set to an appropriate pressure, such as 2200 PSI, which is a common setting for exterior painting. Wear rubber gloves for comfort and better grip, as the spray gun can get hot in the sun. Additionally, have a cardboard shield and its holder ready, as it will be used for controlling overspray. Most importantly, protect your lungs by wearing a 3M respirator (model 7502 is recommended) while spraying.

Goal: Ensure all necessary equipment is ready and safety precautions are in place before spraying.
