What happens here

The crew systematically stains the house siding using a "spray and back-brush" technique. For heavily sun-damaged sections, an initial "pre-prime" coat is sprayed and immediately back-brushed to ensure deep penetration, with some areas requiring up to three coats. For general application, one crew member uses a Graco X5 paint sprayer with a 515 tip to apply stain, while another immediately follows with a good quality stain brush to work the material into the wood grain. This method is crucial for maximizing the life of both the stain and the wood. A second coat is then sprayed on for uniform coverage, typically without further back-brushing, as the first coat established penetration. This process is repeated across various sections of the house siding.

Goal: Apply solid color stain to the entire house siding for protection and aesthetic finish.
