How to use an airless sprayer Graco ProX17 to paint walls without Brush and Roller

Graco Magnum ProX17 Electric Airless Paint Sprayer
PaintAccess CEO Dan and paint industry influencer Harriet are back, this time with some great tips for using an airless sprayer to paint walls without overspraying. Using an airless sprayer means you can avoid rollers and brushes, but how do you protect skirting boards, cornices, door frames and window frames?
Traditionally you would use a combination of brushes and rollers to paint walls with features like skirting boards and cornices. The extra control means you can avoid getting paint on features you might be covering with a different paint. But with the right protective gear, you can use an airless sprayer to paint walls without risking other features, and save yourself a bunch of time.
Today, Dan and Harriet are using the Graco Magnum ProX17 Electric Airless Paint Sprayer with the 515 RAC IV Spray Tip. They start by applying [Graco Pump Armour] designed to protect the components of the sprayer pump and increase longevity. Connecting the included hoses, Dan inserts the suction hose into the paint and we’re ready to go.
With the paint ready, it’s time to apply masking tape. This time Dan and Harriet are using
Uni-Pro 14 day blue Masking Film Rolls. Pull Down Drop Sheet 550mm x 25m Dispenser
along with iQuip Masking Tape. The pull-down drop sheets mean that once the masking tape edge is applied (as precisely as possible), the drop-sheet plastic can be extended out to cover cornices, door frames, and even a section of ceiling or flooring. It’s a quick and easy way to cover a large area with one application of tape.
Always thinking about safety first, Dan runs through some of the PPE he’ll be using including a respirator mask, hair covering and Uni-Pro Disposable Hooded Coveralls.
Paint is applied in even up-and-down strokes, all the way to the masking tape protecting the cornices at the top, and all the way to the masking tape protecting the skirting boards at the bottom. Once the painting is finished, the masking tape and drop sheets can be removed, revealing a straight and even line above the skirting board and the same beneath the cornices. If you’re painting at home you might let the paint dry for longer, but the results are clear; protected features and a high-quality paint finish.
