Spraying a house Live-The Idaho Painter
What happens here
The painter takes a moment to speak to the camera, providing key details about the equipment and techniques being used. He mentions using a Graco X5 sprayer with a 515 spray tip (a Titan 515 tip specifically). He runs it at 2200 PSI. He also discusses the cardboard shield, stating that it can be reused multiple times (4-5 times) before the paint build-up becomes too thick, at which point it can be repurposed as a 'gutter guard' to protect gutters during spraying.
Goal: Understand the sprayer settings and best practices for using the overspray shield.
