What happens here

Before starting to spray, identify logical start and stop points along the siding, such as corners or batting boards. Avoid starting or stopping a spray pass in the middle of a continuous section of siding, as this can lead to visible inconsistencies ("holidays," heavy spots, or dry feather spots). Use a cardboard shield, like the Trimaco shield shown, to protect the concrete footings or other adjacent surfaces from overspray. Position the shield strategically as you spray the lower sections of the siding.

Goal: Determine efficient spray paths and safeguard surrounding areas from paint.
