Paint Your Ceiling FAST With This Pro Technique

[@mlr080965]

use an extension so you can hit the ceiling and walk the whole ceiling with out the need for the scaffold also if you take the tip off before purging the primer it will come out much cleaner in the bucket with more of a flow than a spray. the pressure is built because of the tip... and that is my tip ...good day! and as usual thanks for this awesome video!

Love your show. One thing I learned the hard way is if your room has a lot of windows do a quick backroll with a roller for perfect eveness. It may seem like it's adding time but the light from the windows can show faning. Also the rental guys hate overspray on their machine's. Throw a tent of plastic on it or put in an opposing room verses the company chewing you out when returning lol.

[@drewcama2488]

Also the rental tips can be finished so If you rent buy a fresh tip, one appropriate for your job.

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

If you have to back roll why spray?

[@jordan2104]

It would be interesting to see a video about cleaning the sprayer when you're done, for short term and also long term storage. I know there are some products out there that can be used for a thorough cleaning, especially when you wanna put the machine away for a longer period of time. Also, more information about the spray tips, sizes, purposes etc. I always avoided painting, but the more I find out about it, the more I wanna give it a go.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great suggestion!

[@ioflowboy]

Lol you should always clean the rug afterwards. It's a key step that should never be stepped. And that is not how you switch paint in your rig. And don't ever use a rig without correctly and safely know how to use it. Spray rigs are one of the most dangerous tools in construction. Before you touch a sprayer look up injection wound.

[@drschroeder1]

I agree that a cleaning video would be great. I'm not as afraid of the spraying as I am afraid of messing up the tool from improper cleaning.

[@drewcama2488]

A a pro painter who has two such spray guns, this is a lousy job. #1 Dust is your enemy, your going to create sandpaper finish if you don't remove the dust. blow it off, vacuum it off, blow it off # 2 The spray paint atomizes the paint and it goes every where . You want full clothing overalls, a couple of clear eye where protection to change out , gloves, and your worst pair of working boots/shoes on. because they will bee full of paint after one big job. And you need to mask everything you don't want paint on. Changing paint and cleaning gun gets a little bit messy so you want a plastic drop under the machine. The width of your spray is determined by the tip size not how far you are away from the wall. I like to work with an assistant who a) refills my paint as it gets low. b) keeps an eye on my hoses so it doesn't hit the walls and also occasionally moves the machine around if my hose isn't long enough to reach all rooms from my starting location and c) rinses off my safety glasses for me as they get covered in paint dust. Oh and also start far away and move back towards your machine as you go. over night leave your gun and hose attached in a clean bucket of water and the other end of the pump also sitting in a fresh bucket of water. He is spraying like 6 inches from the wall when he should be spraying 12 inches from the surface. He is spraying the ceiling and the bulk head at the same time he is so close. How can he have even coverage? The pros do not spray continuously. Move your sprat gun in the direction then hit the trigger . let go of the trigger but keep move the gun. you se him start stopping and it is leaving a solid line. feather on feather off. And OMG paint in the direction of the main window lighting not across it, if possible. You will tend to use 30% more paint when spraying not less, and two finishing coats always, never one coat. So with his last claim ,I know the job must look like shit. I've watched many of his videos and really it isn't always the best. I just stopped to see what he had to say about paint sprayers, and I think this was his worst video. It's very sad because he is a fellow Canadian.

[@number1pappy]

I absolutely love our airless sprayer! It has been one of my best purchases. We've used it for our whole house. Even our kids have used it in their homes. The best thing is there is no more brush or roller marks! This was key for me as I have struggled over the years, trying to achieve a smooth finish on my house trim. Especially painting kitchen cabinets.Ours is about three years old now and still going strong. I'm not sure how long they last, but considering we're not using it every day like pros do, I'm hopeful it last for many more years. I think the key is cleaning it well when you're done. We rented one first, and that thing was in bad shape. It looked like it had been ridden hard and put away wet ! Lol!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

rental tools have usually seen a few tours of duty. But they are still a great way to get your feet wet and determine if it is something worth while. Cheers!

[@glennr9913]

I agree. I bought a little Wagner about 12+ years ago for a little over $200. I've painted about 6 exteriors and a couple interiors. Best "bang for the buck" tool I've ever bought. If it ever wears out I'll buy another ASAP.

og jenny I don't know if you can successfully add glitter to an airless sprayer. I personally would think the glitter would jam up the inline filter. Maybe someone else can give you a better answer on that. However.....yes you can use an airless sprayer on a ceiling! In fact I highly recommend it! Especially if your ceiling has popcorn or some other kind of texture to it.

[@anthonysmissions]

you should always strain the paint before using in a sprayer and also stir thoroughly.... Also you should remove dust from ceiling after sanding as the sprayer will blow the dust onto your wet surfaces and some will also be left behind... To get the best results you can't leave out the basics. You shouldn't stop and start across the surface as you will create build ups.... Use a spray extension and then you can walk along spraying the full length in one pass.... Tips from my 40 years painting and decorating. really enjoy your videos a lot. Keep it up

[@Mark-EFMB-Combat-Medic]

@anthonysmissions, you are absolutely right. About 45 years ago, I had an old timer professional painter teach me how to use airless and pressure pot systems. The basics that you just mentioned are pretty much exactly what he said to me, over and over again until I got it right according to his instructions. Thank you for pointing that out.

I would say not a good job. Never section in the middle of a flat plane. Go completely end to end with a long spray over the complete ceiling. Then keep moving down to try to keep a wet edge going to avoid dry spots. You can see in the video albeit very quickly, because you did not focus on the finished product,you have a lot of dry spots that stick out because of the way you sprayed it. If you are going to teach it make sure it is the correct method.

pro tip when priming your airless, after you see paint come out of the return hose, hold down the trigger on your gun before turning the prime valve, then turn it on while you''re still holding the trigger so it doesn't pressurize and make a mess, once paint comes through the hose, let go of trigger and you're ready to go

It’s all about finger pressure & masking up. Once you get your mix correct - if you need to add water - as fresh plaster or paint thick. Plan your height if spraying ceilings A step up or large area - trestle with planks. Wear a mask. As he said spray ceiling from window light enter - so you won’t see shadows. You are basically using the spray like back hand slaps - window wiper style.

Listen folks. This is a video of what not to do. Wow this dude bought a paint sprayer and is now an "expert". You dont even have a bucket of water next to your sprayer. Always spray into water with the tip submerged far enough that it will not splash back. Better yet hold a towel over it also. You got paint flying everywhere. If you are going to teach people to do something teach them the correct safe way. You dont even have eye pro on and blowing paint all over the place. Not to mention it is very dangerous if you inject yourself with paint. That gun is 1000+ PSI and will inject paint into your skin and you have zero personal protection equipment on. No eye pro. No gloves. No respirator. This hose doesnt even have a whip attached. You are spraying directly off the line. So much for setting the gun up correctly. There is just way too much wrong with this video and very dangerous for just some home owner to think he can do on a weekend after watching this video.
