What happens here
For a room where the trim, walls, and ceilings will all be different colors or have different sheens (e.g., semi-gloss trim, satin walls, flat ceilings), follow this specific order to maximize efficiency and quality. First, spray the ceilings with an airless paint sprayer, allowing about an inch or two of overspray to fall onto the top part of the walls. After the ceiling paint has dried, thoroughly dust off the trim to remove any settled overspray. Next, spray the trim. Once the trim is dry, mask off the painted trim to protect it. Finally, roll the walls. This method is designed to prevent lap marks and flashing on the walls, which are common issues when walls are sprayed.
Goal: Efficiently paint trim, walls, and ceilings, each with distinct colors or sheens, to achieve high-quality results.
