Do you really need to spray? If there's a smooth finish on the wall a good ole brush and roller could be better than covering everything in range of spray and masking around doors/windows/facias/soffits. And you won't risk overspray blowing onto the neighbours house and car.

Not a great idea to be painting exterior in this kind of weather, you could be cleaning paint off paths for a while!
