Painting New Construction Interior Walls - PVA Primer

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the preparation complete and protective gear on, the painter demonstrates the technique for spraying ceilings. He uses an airless spray gun equipped with an extension pole, typically starting with a 619 tip (or a 1221 as mentioned for later use). The key is to maintain continuous motion, moving the spray gun in overlapping passes across the entire ceiling, from one end of the room to the other. This ensures even coverage without stopping in the middle, which could lead to visible lines or uneven application. He stresses that using the largest possible tip (e.g., a 1221) allows for faster work and a smoother finish, minimizing hard edges and potential 'fingering' in the final coat.

Goal: Apply an even, consistent coat of PVA primer to ceilings.

What they say

Hide

ceilings. I'm going to walk in to in the walls. I'm going to go from top to bottom of the walls. And I typically start from left to right. I'm right-handed. That's what works for me. And we'll go up there and you'll see what it looks like. I'm going to be messing around with a couple tips. Typically, uh, when I'm spraying walls, I like Titan HA tips cuz they give a nice feathered edge. You don't get, um, hard edges, which could actually become a problem when you're, um, you know, on your top coat and your final finish. you could get fingering and stuff. It could leave um stripes and marks on your walls. Titan HA tips, you know, work best, you know, for that. So, you typically try to work and use the biggest tip that you can so you can move as quick as you can. I'm going to start out with just a 619 messing around. I'm going to eventually grab my 1221, start spraying with a 1221.
