Spraying a wooden fence is the fastest and easiest way to get paint on a fence. Once the paint is applied, a roller is used to push the paint into the wood fibers. This rolling is called back-rolling. Back-rolling ensures a proper paint-to-wood bond. When a fence is prepped, primed and painted properly the paint job should last for as long as the paint supplier or manufacturer approximates. Spray on a windless day to avoid getting overspray on undesirable surface. Instructions as follows: Firstly, attach a spray nozzle to a garden hose. Secondly, spray the wood fence to wash away all dirt and debris. Spray from top-to-bottom and from one end to the other. Rinse both sides of the fence. Thirdly, wait 72 hours for the fence to completely dry. More time may be required depending on the weather conditions. Fourthly, plug the paint sprayer into a 120-volt electrical power outlet. Use extension cords. Turn the "ON/OFF" switch to the "OFF" position. Submerge the suction tube down into the bucket of stain-blocking wood primer paint. Stick the drain tube into the waste bucket. Turn the pressure control knob to its lowest setting. Fifthly, turn the "PRIME/SPRAY" switch to "PRIME." Hold the spray gun down inside the waste bucket so that it's pointing toward the side of the bucket and pull the trigger. Flip the "ON/OFF" switch to "ON" and watch as the cleaning and preserving solution comes out of the pump chamber through the drain hose. Sixthly, flip the "PRIME/SPRAY" switch to "SPRAY" as soon as you see primer paint come out of the drain hose. Now watch as the cleaning and preserving solution in the spray hose empties into the wait bucket. Release the spray gun trigger as soon as you see primer paint coming out of the spray tip of the spray gun. The pump will continue pumping as pressure behind the paint in the hose increases. Spraying and Rolling the fences Seventhly, uncoil the spray hose so that you are standing at one end of the fence line. Hold the tip of the spray gun about 18 inches away from the fence and pull the trigger. The paint will probably squirt out at this point, because the pressure is so low. Adjust the pressure control knob until the primer paint comes out of the spray time atomized. If paint dust is blowing everywhere, the pressure is too high if the paint sprays in lines then it's too low. Adjust it to spray evenly. Eighthly, spray up and down each slat in the electric fence line. Keep the gun at an even distance from the fence throughout the spray pass. Move at an even pace to avoid piling up too much paint or not enough paint in one area. Spray a ten foot section of fence at a time. The sprayer's main purpose is to quickly get the paint on the surface. Ninthly, place a 1-inch nap roller cover over the spindle of a 9-inch roller frame and screw and extension pole into the end of the roller handle. Spray paint on the roller nap to soak it with paint. Set the spray gun down.
