What happens here
Begin by donning all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including a Tyvek suit, a respirator, safety glasses (often worn under the respirator), gloves, and shoe covers. With the airless spray gun connected to a long extension, begin priming the wall, focusing on areas like stairwells that might require extended reach. Maintain a consistent distance from the wall and use overlapping passes to ensure even coverage of the Sherwin Williams PVA primer over the existing Sun Valley Texture.
Goal: Apply primer to hard-to-reach wall sections in a stairwell.
