Start by masking and covering anything you don’t want painted, including your floor, windows, and furniture. We recommend using canvas drop cloths to protect the floor and lightweight plastic sheeting and masking tape to protect other walls and the ceiling from overspray.

Prepare your paint sprayer and use the iSpray nozzle, which is ideal for spraying broad surfaces like walls. Adjust the sprayer’s material flow, pattern, and width to suit your material needs. Practice on some scrap cardboard or the included spray poster to get comfortable with the sprayer and adjust the settings for the best finish.

Start by spraying the gaps between the boards. Adjust the paint sprayer to the narrow setting. First, when paint spraying the gaps, you want to make two passes to ensure you get full coverage. The first pass is angled up and the second pass is angled down. This ensures that all areas are covered and you don’t have any bare spots. If you're spraying real wood, make sure you spray it in the direction of the grain. It’s also good to spray lengthwise to avoid pooling of the paint in the gaps and potential dripping. The shiplap boards might take paint differently depending on what they're made of.

Now it’s time to paint spray the shiplap board surfaces. Adjust the spray to the wide spray pattern and spray the rest of the wall. With the FLEXiO sprayer, you want to make sure you're paint spraying 6-8” from the wall and overlapping the passes by 50%.

With a little bit of paint and shiplap, the wall was transformed! Be sure to watch our how-to video to see these tips and tricks in action!
