Nope, no overspray here! #fyb #shorts
What happens here
A painter, wearing a respirator mask and safety glasses, is shown actively applying a new coat of light-colored exterior paint to horizontal lap siding using an airless paint sprayer. The technique involves holding the spray gun at a consistent distance from the wall and moving it in smooth, overlapping horizontal passes. The existing siding is a tan/brown, and the new light paint is being applied over it. Visible in the background are masked-off windows or trim with masking tape and plastic sheeting, indicating prior preparation. Cardboard or drop cloths are also visible on the ground to catch overspray.
Goal: Achieve a uniform and complete paint finish on the exterior siding
