What happens here
Before beginning, ensure the work area is properly prepared. This typically involves cleaning the siding, making any necessary repairs, and masking off windows, trim, and other surfaces not intended for paint. The main tool for this project is a specialized attachment for an airless paint sprayer. This tool consists of an extension pole that connects to an airless spray gun. An adjustable bracket on the pole holds a paint brush, positioning it directly behind the spray tip. This setup ensures that as paint is sprayed onto the surface, the brush immediately follows to work the paint into the texture of the siding. Assemble the extension pole to the airless spray gun and attach the paint brush securely to the adjustable bracket. Connect the airless spray gun to the paint hose and prime the system with paint according to the airless sprayer manufacturer's instructions.
Goal: Set up the specialized painting tool and prepare the surfaces for painting
