What happens here

Begin by setting up your airless paint sprayer. Ensure it is properly cleaned if it was used for primer. Load the top coat paint into the sprayer's reservoir. The video specifically mentions using Sherwin Williams Treasure Valley Eggshell paint. Set the sprayer's pressure to approximately 2200 PSI, which can be adjusted as needed, potentially up to 3000 PSI, to achieve the desired spray pattern and coverage. Attach a 1221 tip to the spray gun, along with a 30-inch extension for improved reach and consistency.

Goal: Get the airless paint sprayer ready with the top coat.

Tools and materials

  • 1221 spray tip Graco — Creating the specific fan pattern and flow rate for paint application
  • 30-inch extension — Extending the reach of the spray gun, reducing the need for ladders or bending
  • Airless paint sprayer Graco 390 — Applying the paint efficiently and evenly to large surfaces
  • Paint buckets — Holding the paint for the sprayer's intake

What they say

So, here we go. Now, we're going to be stepping on to uh part three for this video, and that's actually spraying the top coat. And the and there's not a whole lot of difference when it comes to spraying the top coat versus the the primer, the PVA primer, except that I'll be spraying a lot slower and getting it on really, really heavy. I want to really saturate those walls and get them soaking wet with paint. Uh not to the point that it's going to run, but pretty close to that point. So, I'm going to be using a 1221 tip again with my 30-in extension. This house, the ceilings are going to be pure white. So, we'll be spraying those after we do the walls. So, I'm going to be doing my walls first and then I'll be spraying my ceilings. The trim is actually a stain package. Everything's going to be stained and lacquered. And the builder on this job wants it all stained and lacquered down and then installed. So, uh, we're just painting the walls in this job and they're doing the stain and lacquer package themselves. But if I was actually doing the stain and lacquer package myself, I'd install all the trim stain and lacquer grit. Then I'd do my walls and ceilings. And but um, when I'm doing that here, we're just doing the walls and ceilings, and we're doing two colors. So, I'm going to be spraying my walls, and then I'll be masking my walls, dropping it with plastic, and then spraying my ceilings. But we'll give the walls a day to dry and then we'll come back and spray the ceilings.
