How To Paint Like A Pro With A Spray Gun
Paintng your building is definitely a manageable commercial remodel. That is, the cost of the paint and the technical nature of the labor makes it a practical product for many people, even for those who aren't particularly handy for skilled with construction. This article explains how you can make a paint job more manageable and affordable by using a spray gun. Using a spray gun usually speeds up the painting process by a quite a lot.
Prepping to Spray
The actual spraying of paint on to your walls with a gun is much quicker and easier then using paint rollers. But, it does require a lot more preparation work. In fact, you might need to spend more time preparing your walls to be painted, than you will actually spend spraying the paint onto them. Using a spraygun is also a far better option for rough textured walls. Spray guns enable you to cover rough textures more comprehensively. In order to speed up your spraying process, you need to adequately mask off the surrounding area.
Over spray from a gun, even when painting inside where there is no wind, can travel several yards. So, in any room you are painting, you want to completely cover the floors. You should also cover all of your duct openings, doors, and window fixtures. Basically, it is better to be safe and cover anything that you don't want paint to get on.
You should spend as much time as possible preparing your area to be spray gun resistant before you even start get the gun out. This includes taping off the walls, and creating the lines. This detail work can also be very time consuming. But, if you use large wheels rolls of painters plastic, you can cover large areas and do a majority of the prep work quite quickly.
In the end, success of any paint job done with a spray gun does largely depend on the prep work. Once the prep is complete, you can spray even more quickly, without having to slow down or waste your time cleaning up. While interior painting is easy, spraying exterior walls is even easier because you don't need to do quite as much prep work. On the other hand, painting an interior wall above unfinished floors can also speed up the process if you aren't worried about covering the subfloors that will eventually just get covered up.
