What happens here

Begin by introducing the project, which is spray painting ceilings that have crown molding. The presenter details the specific equipment to be used: a Graco 695 paint sprayer, a sprayer gun equipped with a 517 tip, and an approximately 2-foot extension to comfortably reach the ceiling. Note that the ceilings are currently a dark color and will be painted a light color, requiring two coats of paint. The first coat will be a light 'fog coat' to dry quickly.

Goal: Gather all necessary tools and understand the painting process for effective ceiling coverage.

This is Chris from B&J Painting. In this video, we're going to show you how to spray ceilings. We've got some ceilings in the house right here that um has got crown molding on the house. And so, we're going to be spraying the ceilings with a Graco 695. I've got a gun with a 515 uh 517 tip on it and an extension that's approximately 2 ft long. And we're using an extension that I can reach um comfortably about a foot from the ceiling. And the ceilings are a dark color and we're actually going to a light color. So, we're going to have to definitely spray two coats on the ceilings. We're going to be spraying one coat this way and what we call a fog coat. It's going to be a light coat. We're not trying to get it all covered 100%, but just getting a a light coat on it that actually dried quickly so we can go back over and do a second coat. And
