Painting New Construction Interior Walls - PVA Primer
What happens here
When spraying ceilings, walk slowly across the room, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface and overlapping each pass by about 50%. The goal is to cover the entire ceiling without stopping in the middle of a pass to avoid uneven application. Once ceilings are complete, move to the walls. Apply primer in a top-to-bottom or left-to-right motion, depending on preference, again ensuring a consistent overlap and steady hand to prevent drips or streaks. The key is to move deliberately and evenly across the surface.
Goal: Demonstrate the proper technique for spraying primer onto ceilings and walls to ensure uniform coverage and professional results.
