What happens here

Begin spray painting the main body of the house. The presenter uses a sprayer gun whip for easier reach and less fatigue. The technique involves holding the spray gun at a consistent distance from the surface, overlapping each pass by 50% to ensure even coverage and avoid lap marks. It's recommended to spray vertically or horizontally, depending on the panel orientation. For the garage door, spray in one continuous pass from top to bottom, ensuring 50% overlap. Allow the first coat to set before carefully opening the garage door to prevent it from sticking to the weather stripping. The remaining unpainted trim and door will be painted on the second day.

Goal: Apply primary paint color to the house exterior
