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

What happens here

After all the walls have received their topcoat, and masking has been removed, the interior is ready to dry. Prior to beginning the painting process, it is essential to vacuum all floors, especially in hallways and closets. This prevents dust and debris from being kicked up by the airless sprayer's pressure and adhering to the wet paint on the walls. The presenter demonstrates removing his protective suit, revealing his paint-splattered clothes underneath, emphasizing the messiness of the process. The walls will be allowed to dry for one day, after which the process of masking and spraying the ceilings will begin, potentially including a third color for the living room ceiling.

Goal: Ensure proper drying of walls and prepare for subsequent ceiling painting.

Tools and materials

  • Protective Suit — Was worn during painting to protect clothing
  • Shop Vac — Vacuuming floors to remove dust and debris before spraying

[Applause] Well, you can have a good look at after about about 3 hours worth of work what I look like completely covered in paint paint dust. This is about the worst uh part of painting that there is. And this is new construction painting. Extremely dirty, extremely dusty. and I actually don't like doing it, but I'm doing this video just to teach you how to paint a 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 about done spraying the body here. And once we're done spraying the body, we're just going to clean stuff up. And then we're going to let this dry. And then we're going to come back to spray the ceiling. And that's going to be the fourth part of this ceiling.…
