The porch floor tends to need to be painted more frequently than the railings because it endures more wear and tear, and since our side porch is the one that we use for most of our comings and goings, it was definitely in need of some TLC.

The first step was to clear off the porch and scrub the dirt and pollen off. Then I let the floor dry for about 24 hours.

None of the paint was peeling, so I didn’t need to scrape or sand, which saved time. I used painter’s tape and a roll of painter’s craft paper to protect the railings from overspray, and then I was ready to load the FLEXiO and get started.

For this project, I used the FLEXiO’s iSpray nozzle and used unthinned porch and floor paint. The adjustable iSpray nozzle is designed to provide a roller-like finish on broad indoor and outdoor surfaces, and the powerful X-Boost turbine allows you to use unthinned paints, stains, and sealers.

Since the FLEXiO applies coatings 12X faster than a brush, painting my side porch and steps took me about 10-15 minutes. I worked backwards, starting on the porch and spraying my way down the steps. The longest part of the process was letting the paint dry since it’s already really humid here!

One of my favorite things about the FLEXiO sprayer is that clean up is fast, as in it only takes about five minutes. After everything was clean, I packed the sprayer away in the included accessory bag and removed the tape and paper.
