What happens here

To minimize lap marks, select tools that allow for broad and efficient paint application. When rolling, using a wider paint roller (e.g., 18-inch) is recommended as it covers more surface area per pass, thereby reducing the number of laps. For spraying, it's advised to use wide-fan spray tips, such as a 1221, 517, or 619, which provide a broader spray pattern. Using smaller tips like a 310 will significantly increase the time and effort required, making it harder to maintain a wet edge and avoid lap marks.

Goal: Choose appropriate tools, including wider rollers or specific spray tips, to reduce the number of application overlaps and improve paint coverage.
