Spraying Interior Walls With An Airless Paint Sprayer. How to paint drywall. DIY painting.

What happens here

After all walls are sprayed and masking is removed, clean your airless paint sprayer and all associated equipment thoroughly. Allow the newly painted walls to dry completely for at least one full day. Before proceeding with spraying ceilings (or any subsequent painting), vacuum all floors, especially in hallways and closets, using a shop vacuum. This prevents dust, debris, or dried paint 'spits' from being kicked up by the sprayer's air pressure and contaminating the fresh wet paint on walls or ceilings.

Goal: Clean equipment, allow walls to dry, and prepare for ceiling spraying by cleaning floors.

What they say

Hide

brand new home with bare drywall. And okay, now the this whole interior is all sprayed. The body is sprayed. Now we're just cleaning up and we're going to let this dry for today and we'll come back and actually spray the ceilings and we'll just be you can see just take my monkey suit off here and they'll be all clean and then be coming back tomorrow and showing you how to mask the ceilings. So, another quick uh tip when you're actually spraying your walls, uh get a shop back out to vacuum all your floors. And if you vacuum your floors inside your hallways or your closets, you won't get any kickback that's flying up and to and stick it onto your wet walls. Cuz when you're in the closet and you're spraying, you get down to the floor, it has a tendency to throw a lot of dirt and debris around if your floors aren't clean. So, just get a shop back. Uh vacuum all your floors up, get them all nice and clean prior to spraying them. Also, here's another uh simple tip. When you're actually spraying, I'm using a 30-in extension. And the reason why I use that extension is so I can reach the ceilings and reach the floors without having to get on a ladder, without having to bend over. But along uh with that extension comes the gun spinning and you'll see me spraying. And that's why I'm typically in a a bedroom, I'm only releasing the trigger just a couple times. I'm trying never to release that trigger, going up and down, spraying. And it's going to be a lot faster to spray without releasing the trigger, but you're not going to get spits in areas that you don't uh want to get on. Cuz with a 30-in extension, you're going to get a pretty large spit. You don't want to get spits in the middle of the wall. So, when you're working around windows and stuff, you're trying to spray it without releasing your trigger so you don't get any spits. Well, I'm just
