Many hands make light and FUN work! Turn a chore into an afternoon delight.

Assemble all your ladders, extension cords, sanding discs, and Wagner FLEXiO Paint Sprayer paint sprayers in one place.

A Wagner PaintEATER® will make prepping the siding a breeze. (Make sure to test paint for lead prior to sanding.)

The PaintEATER® easily loosens flaking paint and creates a smooth surface for a fresh coat.

The PaintEATER®'s adjustable handle and strap make changing positions, and work on ladders easy.

Fun paint shirts were gathered at a thrift shop to give the guests a team feel. Everyone gets a turn sanding and changing up the sanding disc.

The PaintEATER® glides easily over the surface without gouging or over sanding the siding.

Drop cloths are essential for covering items like bulkheads and patio stones where paint spills are not wanted.

There are two parts to the spraying process - priming and painting. Using a FLEXiO® sprayer, which draws off a 5 gallon bucket of paint, spray the bare wood surfaces with primer to seal them from the elements. Then spray the house with a latex exterior paint.

The FLEXiO® is lightweight and easy to maneuver, especially from a ladder and for hard-to-reach places.

Let all your guests take turns trying the sprayer.

Hard work will create a hungry crowd. Have plenty of icy drinks on hand and easy make-ahead foods that are delicious and can be replenished in a jiff. Keep the theme by using red, white and blue dishes.

Pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw,

fresh fruit salad, raspberry squares, watermelon,

...and a cake that looks like a burger will be tempting to all your house painters.
