Painting New Construction Interior Walls - PVA Primer

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter recommends using HEET (High-Efficiency Airless) spray tips, as they produce a nice feathered edge, preventing hard edges that can cause problems (like 'fingering' or striping) in the final topcoat. For walls, a larger tip (e.g., 619 or 1221, where the first digit is the fan width divided by 2, and the last two digits are the orifice size in thousandths of an inch) allows for faster application. The video shows using a 619 tip initially and mentions switching to a 1221. For various hard-to-reach areas or vaulted ceilings, the use of spray gun extensions is crucial. These extensions can be stacked for increased reach. Triade Quick Connect Extensions are highlighted for their ease of attachment and detachment.

Goal: Choose the appropriate spray tips and extensions for efficient and professional primer application on different surface areas.

help feed you that hose going upstairs. So it's kind of the same thing with 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.
