Spraying interior ceilings. Painting Ceilings With An Airless Paint Sprayer

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before spraying the ceiling, thoroughly prepare the room to prevent overspray on freshly painted walls and other surfaces. This involves first masking the ceiling line (where the ceiling meets the walls) using 9-inch masking paper and 1-inch tape. Secure the paper along the top edge of the wall, creating a clean, crisp line. Next, drop 9x400 plastic sheeting down the walls from the masked ceiling line to cover and protect all wall surfaces. Ensure the plastic is properly secured and draped to prevent any paint fallout from settling on the walls.

Goal: Protect walls and other surfaces from overspray

Tools and materials

  • 1-inch Masking Tape — Securing the masking paper and plastic sheeting

eggshell on this. We're going to be showing you the ceiling here. We're spraying a ceiling in this bedroom and we've already sprayed the walls and now we've gone around and masked the ceiling line with 9 in paper and 1 in um 1 in tape and then we've just dropped 9x400 plastic down the walls so we don't get any fallout overspray down the walls.
