What happens here
The presenter advises spraying the garage door from top to bottom in vertical passes, rather than horizontally from right to left. This method reduces the need to walk back and forth extensively, which can lead to an uneven spray pattern. He demonstrates the correct speed and distance, emphasizing that the spray gun should be held approximately 12 inches from the surface. Visual examples are provided to illustrate the consequences of incorrect gun speed: spraying too slow can cause the paint to run, while spraying too fast will result in poor, uneven coverage.
Goal: Apply paint in vertical strokes from a consistent distance, avoiding common errors.
