SPRAYING INTERIOR CEILINGS painting ceilings with a sprayer. Ceiling painting instructions.

This is Chris Yan painter. In this video, I'm going to show you some tips and tricks on how we go about spraying ceilings with an airless sprayer. And we've got a house we're working on right here. And we've already painted the walls. And we're going to begin the process of spraying the ceilings now with an airless sprayer. And we're going to show you that process. I'm going to give you some tips and tricks of what it takes to actually spray these ceilings. So, now we're working on these ceilings. And we've got our airless sprayer set up out here in the garage. And if you don't know how to use an airless sprayer, I've never operated one, I do have a video right here. You can click on this video and that will teach you how to operate an airlift sprayer. But we got an aeros sprayer set up and it's running at approximately 3,000 PSI. In spraying ceilings, you want a really large tip so you don't have to walk and spray as much. It'll cover a lot more distance and leave less lap marks if there's going to be any lap marks. And we typically use a flat paint. So, we don't have any lap marks. If you use a satin paint or any type of paint machine, it'll use or show overlap marks or uh shiny spots where those lap marks are. So, using a flat paint is the best thing for spraying ceilings. And we're using a product from Sher Williams called Eminence. And we're going to be uh using a 1221 tip once again, and it's a large fan tip, and it puts out a lot of paint so we can spread these ceilings really fast. using a 30-inch gun extension. That way, we can walk and reach the ceilings really easily. These are all 8 foot ceilings and we can reach them with a 30-in gun extension. Just walk in the distance. Another thing is you don't want to have anything in your path that where you're walking. You want to be able to walk this whole room or the entire room where you're working without having to start and stop. Once we start spraying, we typically very rarely release our trigger while we're spraying. We're just walking back and forth, keeping that trigger down to uh maximize uh spraying and maximize that spits and so forth. We'll be getting on our monkey suit gear. uh head sock and respirators so we don't breathe any of this paint. There's going to be a lot of uh fallout and dust coming out and you definitely want to have the proper protection. Also, any of those tools and accessories you're using, you can go check out my Amazon tool store. Click on the logo right there. Anytime you see that logo in any of my videos, it'll take you right to my tool store. And if you want really cool shirts and hats that I actually have that my sister actually designed, you can go check out my paint light paintware logo right down here anytime any of my videos in my videos. Click on that and it'll take you right to my shirt in ad store. But here we go. Getting ready to spray the ceilings right now. So, just watch as you're uh watching us spray. I just walk in this room spraying, keeping the tip around 12 to 16 in from the ceiling. And we're overlapping about 50% as we're spraying. And you want to walk, you want to walk slow enough that you can see that paint going on there going on there extremely thick and geling out. You don't want to be dry. You want it to be actually stopping wet across the whole ceiling. So it gels out and so you don't have any lap marks or dry marks at all in the ceiling. So watch the speed of us walking. Watch the overlap and watch as pain. Heat. Heat. So, part of the masking process, we're actually starting the spraying the masking. We've masked with 9 in paper and a box of 9x400 plastic we're dropping to protect the walls from getting any fallout or overspray. If you want to see that process, what we did, how we went around masking that, you can check out my new construction video right here. And that'll uh that's a series on how to uh paint the entire house, the new construction house that has bare dry sheetrock. And it shows you the whole process of masking with the 9x4 plastic and paper. And that video is right here. You can click on that video anytime to go ahead and watch that video of us masking to actually spray the ceilings. Heat. Now, while the paint is still wet up here on the ceilings, we like to begin pulling the masking down. Heat. See, I've begun pulling all this plastic or paper down. And now I'm going to begin pulling the plastic down. Once all the spray, I'm going to leave the plastic up until all the strands done cuz there's a lot of uh dust in the air and we don't want that settling on the walls. But once all the sprays done, we're going to start pulling the plastic down, too. But I like to pull the paper down while the paint's still wet. And this plastic containing here, we got um one of us is out here spraying the ceilings. And that's the process.
