Painting an Exterior SOLO Time Lapse. Airless Spraying a Full Exterior!

What happens here

Using a masking machine, the painter applies masking film (or paper) and tape around the perimeter of all windows and doors. The tape is pressed firmly along the edges to create a sharp, clean line, and the film is extended to fully cover the glass and door panels. Special attention is paid to corners and intricate details to ensure complete protection. This prevents unwanted paint from getting on these surfaces during the spraying process. Utilize stable ladders for reaching high windows and doors, always checking for proper balance and support.

Goal: This step involves covering and taping off windows, doors, and other areas not to be painted to protect them from paint overspray.
