What happens here

Attach a 6-inch gun extension to the spray gun for improved reach and control, particularly for trim work. Next, install the tip guard onto the extension, followed by the spray tip. The presenter uses a Rack X 210 spray tip. Hand-tighten both the guard and the tip; no additional tools should be needed as over-tightening can damage them. Adjust the sprayer's pressure valve to the desired setting (the presenter suggests approximately halfway to the highest pressure). Finally, test the spray pattern into a clean bucket to ensure proper function before beginning to paint the trim.

Goal: Prepare the spray gun for use and verify function.

We're going to start off with we always start off with our gun with a 6-in gun extension on it for convenience. We put our rack tip on guard. We're going to be spraying the trim with the Rack X 210 tip. We'll install the tip into the guard. And it's a handtight guard and tip. So you don't have to use any tools to tighten them up and it won't leak. Then test our spray. It's ready to spray. Make sure our air is adjusted and then we can actually spray it now. And we'll just one pass. That's all it takes. Just one coat on the trim. Now the trim sprayed. What we
