Spray Lower Exterior Sections

This is the tool I control overspray with! #kraft #approved #loveit❤️
What happens here
The painter, wearing a respirator mask, safety glasses, and gloves, begins applying exterior paint to the lower section of the building's siding and the trim around the window using an airless paint sprayer. To achieve crisp edges and prevent overspray onto the already masked window (which has 3M plastic sheeting), a paint shield, such as a piece of cardboard, is held firmly against the masked boundary. The sprayer is moved horizontally in smooth, consistent, and overlapping passes (approximately 50% overlap) to ensure an even coat and avoid runs. This step assumes that all surfaces to be protected have been meticulously masked prior to spraying.
Goal: Apply an initial coat of paint to the lower siding and window trim.
