What happens here

Before beginning any spray priming, it is crucial to don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes a full Tyvek suit with an attached hood, a respirator with P100 cartridges to protect against paint fumes and particulates, protective gloves, and shoe covers. Once safely geared up, ensure your airless paint sprayer is properly set up, connected to its power source and high-pressure hose, and that the Sherwin Williams PVA primer is loaded into its reservoir. Begin applying the primer to the wall surface, maintaining a consistent distance and overlap for an even coat. The video starts by showing the user already engaged in this initial priming phase on a wall adjacent to a staircase.
