What happens here

Don your gloves and safety glasses. Prepare your airless sprayer, ensuring the pressure is set appropriately (around 2200 PSI for this project) and a proper tip (e.g., 517 production tip) is installed. The speaker prefers to spray from right to left and then up and down, walking across the door once for each pass. Use an extension pole on the sprayer to avoid excessive bending or reaching, making the process easier and more comfortable. Apply two passes with a 50% overlap for consistent coverage. Watch for pressure drops in your sprayer that might cause 'tailing' or uneven coverage; if this happens, release the trigger momentarily to allow pressure to build up. The speaker also acknowledges that the sprayer being used (Dino DPX6, a $200 sprayer) is not ideal for maintaining consistent pressure.

Goal: Apply an even coat of paint to the garage door.

customer ever calls you about it now the garage door is ready to spray I'm not worried about overspray here control your overspray by the pressure on the pump pump is about 2200 PSI I'm spraying with a 5 17 tip here production tip now I'm going to get ready to spray I like to spray from right to left and I spray up and down so I walk the garage door once if you spray you know horizontally you walk on the garage door quite a few times so I like to just walk it one time and that's it I like to use an extension so I don't have to bend over or reach very far it's a lot easier on you using an extension I'm going to spray um overlapping 50 percent two passes on my first pass class and on my last pass because your first pass you won't get 50 percent if you move over on the first Edge so here we go you can see the garage door turns a little bit so I actually turn my gun like that to get it to turn like the door I'm testing out a sprayer right here a Dyno it's a DP X6 it's not keeping up very well so it's beginning to tail because the pressure is dropping so that'd be one of the drawbacks to use in one of these small sprayers see if I release my trigger it helps the sprayer out so some people may ask you hey has using one of these sprayers is it good enough it's like a couple hundred dollar sprayer like these Harbor Freight sprayers you see it starts out really good when the pressure's um up it doesn't tail
