So, first thing I'm going to talk about is a spray and the ceilings within airless sprayer. And what tip I would use. The tips I would use are Titan HEA tips. If you have the spray ceilings, those tips are going to be the tip that will give you the most success. And why is that? Titan HE tips have a nice feathered edge to them. They're high efficiency airless tips and they run at low pressures. And just the way they were designed, they don't have like kind of a sharp edge to them. Which you can get a fingering, tailing, a lot of issues with just typical production tips. HEA tips, the only place I like really using them is spraying interior walls. And I love them for spraying interior ceilings. The next thing is is having a tip big enough to get enough product on there that it doesn't dry too fast because ceilings are inherently really warm. Harder than it is down here. And so you're going to run into your problems with your paint drying too fast and not getting like a good gel coat on it. And a good even finish allowing it to dry without having lap marks. And what we call like feathering and even holidays, etc., stuff like that. So Titan HEA tips, if I had one tip to shoot ceilings with, I'd probably choose a 619. If you're uncomfortable using a tip, you know, that large, I'd probably drop down to a 517. So a 619, 517, if you're comfortable shooting bigger, you could jump into like a 1221 that's going to shoot you a huge pattern and you can shoot your ceilings super fast. But that's probably going to be for new construction. Even new construction, I'd be using probably a 619. A repaint, I'd be doing a 619 also. So now I got the tip, I've got an airless sprayer.
