How To Paint a DECK the Right Way!

What happens here

To avoid overspray on ceilings when painting, especially trim, proper spraying technique is crucial. This involves using the correct gun angle, appropriate tip size (e.g., a 310 tip for trim to minimize overspray), and adjusting the pressure correctly. Experience with the sprayer builds confidence to control overspray. Any fine mist that does reach the ceiling from a distance will typically 'flash dry' before it can settle as wet paint. If a minor overspray mistake occurs, it can often be quickly corrected by lightly re-rolling the ceiling with ceiling paint.

Goal: Minimize overspray onto ceilings when painting walls or trim
