How to spray your house with an airless sprayer. Graco Airless Sprayer Instructions.

What happens here

For general application across the main body of the siding, use consistent, overlapping spray passes. Each pass should overlap the previous one by approximately 50%. This 50% overlap ensures that you apply two coats of paint to every area, creating a uniform, durable, and fully opaque finish. Always release the trigger of the spray gun at your predetermined start and stop points to conserve paint and prevent excessive buildup at the ends of your passes. Maintain a steady hand and consistent speed while moving the gun horizontally across the surface.

Goal: Achieve uniform paint coverage and prevent paint waste or unevenness.

this Now we got longer start and stop points. So you want to clear a pathway for you to walk. As you can see, as I'm spraying, I'm overlapping myself by 50%. That way, I'm getting twice as much paint on the house. So, water going one way, then I'll overlap at 50% another way. Heat.
