What happens here

Begin spraying the lower sections of the cottage lap siding. Hold the spray gun at an angle, rather than straight on, to ensure paint is thoroughly applied underneath the overlapping planks. This is especially crucial when applying a dark color over a lighter one to achieve complete coverage and prevent the underlying color from showing through the gaps. Always release the spray gun's trigger precisely at your designated start and stop points to conserve paint and maintain sharp, clean lines.

Goal: Ensure full coverage, especially under laps, and efficient paint application in lower areas.

You want to make sure you spray at an angle to get inside those holes. And then when I'm spraying my lap sighting, you want to make sure you get underneath the lip. So when I'm spraying, I'm not spraying straight on. I'm actually spraying at an angle, shooting up an angle. And I always release my trigger at my two start and stop. It actually saves you paint instead of hold it, but you you use more paint doing so. So this Now we got longer start and stop points. So you want to clear a pathway for you to walk.
