Chris, the Idaho Painter. In this video, we're going to show you how we go about spraying a door and spraying this door. We got a smooth metal door. And if you start and stop spraying this door in the middle of the door or anywhere in the door, you'll get a spit because you got an extension on the gun. And I get this question, how do you eliminate the spits? When you put an extension on the gun, you're going to get a spit no matter what. And I always like spraying with an extension on my gun no matter what. So, I always got one on so I'm going to get spits. So, if I run into a situation where there's going to be a spit, that's critical that you don't see um I don't I don't start and stop spraying in the middle of that smooth area or the area where you would see a spit. I'm going to show you how we spray this door without getting a spit on it. So, there's multiple reasons why I use an extension. In another video, I explain that. And I got another video that you can watch that explains what causes the spit. But in this video, we're just going to show you how you spray this door without getting a spit on this door. So, I've got masking down here, and the masking comes out from the door, several feet from the door. That way, you can start spraying on the masking and then continue onto the door. Because if you start spraying anywhere on this door, when you pull the trigger, you're going to get a spin. When you release the trigger, you're going to get a spin. So, I want to be able to start and stop spraying this door on the masking. So the masking is critical. So now I start spraying this door. I'm g start on one side, either the right side or the left side. I like always starting the side away from the door knob. So I'm going to start spraying. I'm going to start my spray pattern. I'm going to start spraying on the masking. So, I stopped on the masking and started on masking. Now, I got a door knob I've got to work around right here. And the door knob because of the masking, there's some miss spot. So, I'm going to move my masking. And I'm going to start my spray again down here off of my door so I don't get a spit. worked around it. And if I look underneath, there's some spots that I've missed. I'm going to start on the masking and come back off the masking. I'm going to look around, make sure it's hit all around the door knob, around all the edges. Looks good. And I have started and I've stopped spraying off of my door and didn't get any spits on the door. That's how you go about spraying a smooth surface without getting a spit on
