Transitions are shot in a similar manner to shoulders. It is good practice to start at the narrow end, whenever possible. Then as the surface widens, one or two nozzles can be turned on quickly at the right time. If progression is toward the narrow end, there is more potential for overspray error. There are cases where it is not practical to start at the narrow end.

In some cases, transitions may require some touch-up with the hand sprayer in order to even up the outside edge. The inside joint at the full lane should be straight and sharp. The outside edges can be touched up easier than a ragged joint.
