Scenario 2: Painting a Vacant House with Uniform Color and Sheen
At 4:55 in
What Should You Paint First? DIY Painting Ceiling, Walls, Or Trim?
What happens here
If a house is vacant, all walls and ceilings are to be painted the same color and sheen, and the trim is a single color, a different approach is optimal. First, spray the trim. Then, meticulously mask off the newly painted trim to protect it. Finally, spray the walls and ceilings together using a single sheen and color. The presenter warns that applying a satin sheen to ceilings can cause flashing, and recommends using a larger tip (e.g., a 1221 tip) for spraying ceilings to achieve better coverage and reduce the risk of flashing.
Goal: Efficiently paint all interior surfaces (walls, ceilings, trim) the same color and sheen in a vacant house.
