What happens here

After the first coat has dried, proceed to apply the second coat of paint. This coat should also be light and applied in an opposing direction to the first for optimal coverage and a uniform finish. The video states that the second coat was sprayed and then allowed to dry for about 15 minutes. Once the second coat is dry, carefully remove all the plastic sheeting and masking paper from the walls and other protected surfaces. The use of flat paint means that bridging (where the tape pulls off dried paint) is not a concern, allowing for flexible removal timing. The result will be a freshly painted acoustic ceiling with clean lines against the walls.

Goal: Complete painting and reveal finished ceiling with clean lines

What they say

Hide

there's any light spots or touch-ups. Once the ceiling's been sprayed, you can pull the masking down immediately while it's wet after you sprayed your second coat, or you can wait. It's a flat paint, so you won't get any bridging. The masking can be pulled off way later. Even though the paint has been sprayed over the masking tape, we've gone sprayed our second coat on the ceiling. We've let it dry for about 15 minutes and then we've pulled all the plastic and paper off. Ceiling's complete.
