Spray Your Way to a Beautiful Home

air spray gun, spray paint gunsThere are few homes that can match the authentic beauty of a wood-clad home. Whether it is pine clapboard or cedar shingles wood not only looks beautiful but it will as as long or longer than stucco or many other types of home exteriors. In fact, there homes built over 200 years ago that still have the same wood exterior.

The key to longevity with wood is to have it properly sealed so that water doesn’t get up underneath and cause wood decay. This moisture problem is caused by a capillary action where water is drawn up between two pieces of tight-fitting, raw wood. Painting can only get part of the way into the cracks and crevices but a professional spray painting system like the the Graco Airless Paint Sprayer can get paint into areas that brushes could never hope to reach.

Airless spray guns operate on a system that pumps the paint and the pressure forces it out a narrow tip. Normal sprayers have an air compressor to create the spray but there is no air or air compressor involved with airless models.

For painting inside prepare the walls as would with normal painting procedures. if painting outside choose a day when the air is calm as over spray could coat places where you don’t want the paint to go. Star moving you hand before depressing the trigger and always spray in a horizontal, sweeping motion.Let go of the trigger before stopping the movement so that the paint does’t get over-applied in one area.

A Graco Airless Paint Sprayer can put great amounts of paint exactly where you want it. make a tedious job very easy and quick. It makes quick work of projects like interior walls, ceilings, doors, siding, fencing and wood decks. It can also be used as a pumping unit for pressure rolling and can use either a one or five-gallon paint source.
