Professional painters call the process of scraping, cleaning and masking for paint jobs “prepping.” Whenever you use a paint sprayer, prepping should involve drop cloths to protect surrounding vegetation, sidewalks and landscape features. Trim back any grass, weeds, trees or bushes that are in contact with the fence. This exposes all of the fence’s surfaces and ensures a clean and complete finish. Don't forget to put a drop cloth immediately under the section of the fence you're painting to catch drips. If your fence has been previously painted, prepping also includes scraping off all peeling or chipping paint. Repair or replace any damaged portions of the fence. Check for loose nails or screws and reseat them.A Wagner Paint EATER and Wagner Heat Gun can help with this process - see our DIY project on how to remove paint from wood for more instructions. Most importantly, having a surface that's as uniform as possible will give you the best results. And if you're painting over a darker color paint with a lighter one, then you might need to spray a coat of primer first. Lastly, use a counter brush to remove any dust, cobwebs or debris from the wood surface and trellis work. A power washer can also get the job done quickly and efficiently, but remember to let the fence thoroughly dry before applying paint. If the fence needs repairs, it's better to do these before you start paint spraying so you can hide any new screws or wood filler.
