SPRAY A HOUSE WITH ME! PAINT SPRAYING TIPS & TRICKS

Paint an exterior of this home with me! 

I’ll take you through my paint spraying process, from machine setup to laying down two coats on these FC weatherboards. I swear by spray, it doesn’t matter if it is windy, or too small of a job, it can always be sprayed.

This is how I achieved a beautiful, seamless finish on the exterior of this home. I cover how to adjust your Graco CleanShot Shut-Off Valve and more importantly, how I dial in and choose the right spray tip size when spraying these exteriors. Spray pressure is so dependant on so many different factors, such as thickness of the paint, dry time, temperature on the day, length of hose, the size and power of your airless sprayer, and lastly the tip size to achieve the right amount of film build on the surface you’re spraying. 

Follow along, let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. I’ve included the gear used in this video. As always, much love for all the support this awesome YouTube family throws my way; it means a tonne to myself and the fam.
