Spray Painting the Trim

Over a year ago I bought a paint sprayer and compressor.

I simple hand-held paint sprayer.

Yesterday I finally used it.

The lumber from the living room has been moved into the east side yard.

Its first task was to coat the primed soon-to-be trim in “Mosaic White” semi-gloss.

These super long and low saw horses were perfect for spray painting.

Our carpenter friend built me a new pair of saw horses expressly for laying out the lumber and painting it.

After thinning the paint the spray painter gave a nice, even coat of paint.

We thinned the paint and checked the coverage on one of the new horses.

The painting went quickly.

The weather was perfect — dry, warm, and breezy  — for fast drying paint.

We piled the newly painted wood with spacers between layers and covered the pile with tarps.

He also made an outside storage tray for the 16-foot long lumber after it had been painted.

Lest you think I didn’t get in on the action — check out my protective gear.

While we didn’t finish everything we definitely made a dent in the pile in the living room.

Do you don crazy get-ups for special jobs?
