What happens here

Prepare the spray equipment for ceiling application. The presenter uses a Graco 695 sprayer and sets its pressure to approximately 3/4 (which corresponds to about 2 o'clock on the pressure dial, or 2200-2900 PSI). For the spray tip, he recommends a Graco 621 tip. This tip provides a wider fan pattern, allowing for faster coverage, and its larger orifice size ensures enough paint is delivered to achieve a complete coat in a single pass. The paint used is Treasure Valley eggshell. Applying paint in one coat is crucial to avoid having to spray overhead multiple times, which can be strenuous on the neck.

Goal: Optimize sprayer settings and paint for efficient ceiling coverage

Tools and materials

  • Graco 621 Tip Graco — To achieve a wide fan pattern and appropriate flow for single-coat coverage
