This project provides a detailed guide on how to efficiently spray paint bedroom walls using an airless paint sprayer. It covers the initial setup of the sprayer with appropriate pressure and tip for main wall coverage, demonstrating proper spraying techniques such as 50% overlap and continuous strokes to avoid runs. The project also instructs on how to adapt the sprayer for detailed work in smaller areas like closet shelves by switching to a finer tip, and then returning to the original setup for any remaining large surfaces or woodwork, ensuring a smooth and consistent finish throughout the room.

In this video, we're going to show you how to spray the walls in a bedroom with a We're using a Graco 695 uh paint sprayer at,900 to 2,000 PSI. We using a 517 uh Rackex tip with the 24-in extension wand. In this task, we're actually going to be painting just the walls, not the ceilings. And the ceilings will come next after the walls dry with mask and spray. When we're doing our spraying technique, we're going to be keeping our extension approximately a foot, a foot and a half away from the wall. We'll be spraying from top to bottom in one motion without releasing the trigger as few times as we can throughout the whole room. We've got a closet over here we'll be spraying. So, be switching out to our Rackex 310 tip when we actually get to that closet. It won't take us very long to spray this whole room. We're going to give you a quick example how to spray a room to uh get the least or no runs and get the best coverage. Okay, start over here. One corner. We'll start this corner right here. I'm actually spraying, I'll be overlapping 50% as I'm going along. That'll give me the proper coverage. And I'll continue on. Once we get to the closet, we're going to switch out quickly to our 310 tip. We're going to take the extension wand off. put it on our gun. That way we can get in the little cubbies a lot easier using the extension wand. Once we're doing those small cubby areas. We'll end up coming back and we'll fill in the big large areas with our extension wand. We'll spray all the woodwork with the same paint that we do the walls and we'll just use it without the extension wand and I'll switch it over back the extension to start filling in these big areas. That's the proper technique to spray a bedroom with a 695 sprayer.
