What are some good tricks while using a paint sprayer?

Iam gonna use a sprayer on my moms house. It is t 111. what are good tips on using a sprayer on this type of lumber. are there special tips that go on the wand or anything? Thank you-- Old jim---

The standard tip will do fine. Paint both ways to fill the grooves cut into the T-111, and to get paint on both sides of the rough cut wood fibers sticking up. Go down the wall one direction, the go the other way.

Go to the grocery store and get some big card board boxes. Cut pieces of card board 12 inches by 3 ft. Hold a piece of cardboard up against the window or door trim, and spray the wall. Use short 2 1/2 ft. sprays to avoid going past the end of the card board. When you move the card board, you will see a straight line of sprayed paint next to the door / window trim.

Use the cardboard for the facia boards on the front of the house and barge rafters on the end of the house. Place the cardboard on the wall and spray the soffit the trim color, or paint the soffit the same color as the walls and hold the cardboard behind the facia and barge rafters if they are to be a different color.

Whenever the card board gets enough paint on it that it is smearing, use a new piece of cardboard.
