I've got a building to spray and it is attached to other buildings. I've attached a pic. the brick building is obviously what i'm painting. What are some ways you would prevent overspray from the attached building?.... stretch a sheet of plastic on some sort of pole or 2x?

For the tin roof you could fog it with a clear protectant that you simply pressure wash after painting. The just run 10ft of plastic underneath roof along building your protecting. Pretty easy or you could always cut and roll 6 or 8 ft away from area your trying to protect and spray up to it..

I wouldn't trust shields for that project. :no:

Tar paper > drop cloths > masking tape and 16" paper connected to the tar paper overlapping the drops for the sidewalk.

Tape everything else off with .31 mil plastic, masking paper and drops.

Use a smaller tip to keep the over spray down. :thumbsup:

Similar to this.

With something rough like brick that you would (presumably) back roll/brush, overspray control becomes easier.
I would turn the pressure way down, use a big tip, and hold the gun close. You don't need a good fan pattern on something like that, the sprayer is just to get the paint on the surface. It can be done that way anyway.

On a calm day, a 12" piece of paper and a shield would be all the overspray protection needed.
