hello youtube
this is just a quick video of me cutting in with the airless spray
one way you can speed things up when painting
this is an empty unit so there is no furniture to worry about
its a three story unit and quite awkward
scaffolding the stair case is a little tricky if you have not done it before
you have to get up into the corner over there
that is the correct way to set up a scaffold in the stairwell
really the only practical way to do it
there is the airless spray unit downstairs
i have a double length line 50 feet on it
i have the join in the line taped up with duct tape
so it wont damage walls
This is the gun which has a tip extension on it
it also has a graco cleanshot valve which stops the paint from spitting
im using a Fine Finish 211FF tip on the airless spray unit
I am using a medium filter
im just spraying all these edges two times
because im using a fine finish spray tip there will be no picture framing on the walls
The only spot i have to cut in is the lights, and the fan
After a couple of hours i will spray these edges a second time
Then you will roll the walls and ceiling into those edges
in this house the ceiling on the top level is the same paint as the walls
Its very important to use a fine finish airless spray tip
it reduces overspray, which means you breathe less in
and it also has soft edges on the spray
rather than the hard edges of a normal airless spray tip
under certain light condition a normal airless spray tip
will leave lines across the finished job
Once you are finished using this method
you will not be able to see where the roller meets the edge of the wall
it will be a perfect finish
you are always better to spray edges where you can to achieve the perfect finish
this is more for professional painters, home handymen are best not to use the airless spray
unit
Thanks for watching
I will be closed captioning all my videos and translating to different languages so

one last thing i forgot
the clean shot valve from graco
if you are using a tip extension this is important to have
when you release the trigger on the spray gun
it releases paint in a messy fashion without the valve
The cleanshot valve knows when you release the trigger
and stops the paint at the end of the tip.
