Exterior Painting Project

Exterior Painting Project Here we have my son Zack Newkirk masking off some faux finished poles in the back patio area. Covering up as much as we can is a great idea when we are planning on spraying paint on all of the stucco surfaces. This paper/tape gun is a must have on any exterior or interior painting project when you are using a sprayer. Zack liked the tape gun as well. NOTE: If you would like to here Zack sing in his band visit www.myspace.com/sevenstorycoalition
