So, I start by doing again my edges. Once again, spray the edges. I'm going to start off the door, come down, end off the door. I typically two coat my doors, too. Oh, now I'm going to start top off the door. Start top or bottom. Overlap 50%. Keep my gun angle straight at the door. Going over the top. Coming back down. If you don't go off the door, you'll end up pausing a rhyme. Go off the door. Just like that. Now I can flip it. Want to look at it. Make sure you I got a nice even coat across the entire door. Then I can flip it. Just rotate it. Bring it back to where it was. Grab the top. Set it back in place. Just like that. So, if my doors were prepainted, this one's pre- primed. I two coat pre- primed doors. Now, if they were prepainted, I'd be one with emerald urethane, one coat, and I would be done. Now, if you're concerned, you know, about this up here on the top, you know, we are working in here. I can take literally just take a sponge and I could just wipe that off if I was actually concerned about it. But I'm not concerned about it. But, you know, just for instance, if you wanted to get rid of the overspray on the wall, you you could actually just wipe it off. So, I've got a um Triek T5 hooked up downstairs running at 2200 PSI when I spray trim. I've got a Paint Life hose whip right here, a three-foot hose whip hooked up to a Zswive Exit Flex Zswive. So the Z swivel coupled with the um the hose whip just makes everything much more nimble and flexible and a lot less fatigued, you know, on your wrist and um hands and forearms. My gun itself, I got a Triek. I only like two finger guns, so I got a Triek 380 gun right here set up. And on my gun today, I'm going to be using a 310 tip. is an exit flex tip on an exit flex guard which is a multi-use guard. So, uh, two sides to the guard. It'll house rack X tips, rack five tips, Titan tips, triap tips, Bedford tips. It'll run all your tips. One of the beauties, you know, of Exit Flex products. So, great tips. Uh, multi-use guard. One of the things that I typically have a duster brush and I vacuum the doors off, but I'll dust them off, you know, before I spray. You want to have the the floor vacuum too, you know, before you start spraying or you'll just kick dust up, you know, onto the floor itself. There's multiple ways you can spray a door. I can go from side to side or I can go up and down. I always go up and down. I only want to, you know, walk the distance of this door. Say a garage door. I only want to walk distance one time. So I typically would start from the right, you know, move to the left and work my way. I can start from the left and move right. It's, you know, what's more convenient, you know, to you. Now, I saw, you know, somebody on social media, you know, spraying, you know, these like your routed edges right here, spraying these first and then going back, spraying the door up and down, which you don't need to do. If your gun is like facing, you know, straight at all these edges and corners, all that stuff's going to get coated 100%. It's a pre prime door. It's not actually wood, but it is pre prime. It's hollow. Um, typical uh interior door, very forgiving because it's wood grain. So, if you actually started and spit onto the door, uh, you wouldn't actually see that spit. It's uh, very unlikely you would see it. You still want to practice, good practice, and start spraying off your surface and then begin spraying. And I will not release the trigger until I'm done with the door. So, it's going to be all the way across. If I release the trigger, it'll spin. If I pull the trigger, it will spin. So, I try to just keep it, you know, as simple as possible. So, uh tops and bottoms of the doors. One of the questions is people are going to ask, you know, do you paint the tops and bottoms of the doors? These are interior doors that are not exposed to moisture. And typically, nobody ever paints the tops and bottoms of their book door. I wouldn't say nobody ever, but uh it's rare that people, especially new construction and painters, uh don't they typically don't paint the tops and bottoms of these
