hey chris, I am a painter who did the same process of this video using paper and plastic and made ​​me very easy to spray.. thanks for sharing all your videos are a great.. help greets from New York

FYI:? We use a 1 1/2 or 2 " Tape along the wall at ceiling. Leave the bottom of tape unstuck, follow behind sliding plastic under loose edge of tape. Then run bead of caulk at ceiling. We did use stilts at first with the plastic but found the roll had to be moved ahead by someone on floor so we use a ladder. Although the tape is applied using stilts. ( Great Videos Idaho ! :)

Thanks for the videos. You've been a big help setting up my business in england. Cheers

Thank you for helping me do it myself, love to spray its easier and covers more even.

Great series! Thanks!

Amazing tips! I've learned so much from your videos lately! Mostly that I've been painting incorrectly and in the most inefficient manner possible- LOL. Thanks for these videos!

Better alternative is to use 1 1/2 tape while just pressing top side in. Take 9' or 12' painters plastic and attach to bottom half of tape that is not stuck on walls. Then go back and pull plastic down over walls. I can do this with standard ceiling height without using a ladder. Twice as fast as what you are doing plus less cost in materials as you are effectively masking it twice. This also allows you to pull entire room down while standing in one spot.

Hi Chris, You teach me a lot! But this time I want to help you: Replace the ladder by stilts, this way you can mask the walls many times faster. We really reduced a lot the time necessary to mask a room using stilts.

Hi Chris, great series. How come you sprayed walls first then the ceilings? Is it just because it's easier to mask the walls rather than the ceilings? Thanks.

@FreeStuffPlease

Yes its easier to mask walls than ceilings. Also they could have rolled the walls and broke in around the ceilings but my guess is this way might come out looking better in the end.

Hi Chris, Did you have to clear caulk the masking on the top of the wall to stop the fresh ceiling paint from bleeding onto the painted walls? Or is there some kind of exception here? Usually you caulk all your masking in these situations but i didnt see you doing any of that in this video. Thanks again for all the videos and sharing your knowledge!

Great video Chris thank you...so a 695 is plenty enough for the 1221 tip for this large house? If you had a smaller ceiling and only had a 440i what max tip would that machine comfortably handle?

Hey Chris, Thanks for all of your awesome videos. Question, do you spray two coats on your walls before ceiling and trim? And then tape and spray trim after it's installed? I've always found it easier to spray one coat walls then do trim, and cut and roll last wall coat. Would love to know what you do, thanks!

very nice

Any videos on covering/protecting the floor?

Is not easier with stills? Also I have just ordered online the Titan spray guide. Have you ever tried it? And what is your thoughts about this product? Would you use it indoor and outdoor or not at all?)

Cool,never seen the 9x400 plastic with the 3m print.

Chris, loving the videos!! Learning so much... If you're taping over freshly painted walls is there concern for the tape pulling the new paint off. Is there a waiting period before applying tape or a special tape to use?

Chris, so there's no problem with not covering the can lights in the ceiling? I'm priming ceilings today and tomorrow and the house is full of can lights. Thanks.

What paint sprayer and head do you recommend for one time use painting textured acoustic ceiling tiles? We will probably never use again. I tried rolling primer on and even brushing it on and it’s impossible to get it down in between all the layers of whatever this old stuff is made of?

Wow that great! What about a new concrete wall spray using latex paint?

I love your videos and all your teachings, How I do this, I put the paper on first, then spray adhesive on paper and put plastic on it. its faster, cheaper and when your done painting, you pull the plastic down and will also pull down paper along with it. Kozins Painting

Hi Chris, how many coats of wall and ceiling paint do you apply if the walls and ceilings are primed first.

Hey Chris. You have very comprehensive and informative videos. Two questions: Will a Titan 440 Impact handle a 1221 RAC5 tip for priming ceilings? I would like to purchase a Titan 440 Impact (lightly used) on craigslist for $250 without gun or hose for painting my rentals. What things should I be on the lookout for? Besides the obvious. Power on, clean filter, etc. Thanks!

Hi Chris, have you tried the ProMar ceiling paint yet? What do you think compared to Eminence?

What pressure do you like to run a 1221-1223 at?

So, one top coat was enough on both ceilings and walls in this case? Or do you always spray that way - one thick top coat on everything?

Do you cover the can lights and caulk the tape? I know masking tape is sticky enough it shouldn’t bleed but you never know.

hay there, so only one coat is needed when you spray with the gun ??

How many tips are you using on a house of around 2500 Sqft? I know it starts to spit after a while.

Do I need to turn off the central air when spraying? Thank you!

It looks like you are using a regular masking tape? Do you have a list of materials you prefer

This is like watching paint dry

What type of tape are you using with the paper.

any special tape you use? it doesn't peel you fresh coat off the wall? Always have problems with that. thanks,

It’s like made of straw glued together made in 18x24” beveled tiles? I’ve never seen it anywhere else before. But it’s only on one side of basement ceiling and is good sound proofing so we don’t want to take it down. Just painting it a fresh solid white is what we are hoping to do

And I just answered my own question from the video by watching this one 😂

Can the ceiling and the wall both be painted at once if it's both white paint?

Should a raw, recently textured, ceiling be strictly just primer first before paint? Or is paint with primer on a raw ceiling enough?

How do you guys not peel the new wall paint off when you tape the top of the wall after spraying the ceiling? It peeled off a couple times when I did this

Do you put anything in the recessed lights so they don't get paint in them or do you just get paint in them. Thanks

Hey great video, i’ve been a painter for about 25 years now and been spraying a lot of ceilings doing restoration projects. I’m always dealing with discoloured ceilings because of cooking oil‘s and just every day living. I sometimes find when I’m spraying that the texture is quite old or a different aggregate and they absorb the paint in different spots and I sometimes get those dry spots. Because of the different colour and of the new paint put on it is quite noticeable when that happens. We try to cross spray everything but sometimes we just continue to see those dry spots or flashes. What would you suggest that we do to avoid these types of situations? We generally use different types of paints from Sherwin-Williams or other manufacturers. We always use flat paint for all of our ceilings. Once in a while if there is significant staining we switch to a oil base flat sealer. Oh I also noticed in your video at the edge of your spray fan seems to be leaving a thin line on either side. Do you think the pressure is too low or maybe the orifice of the spray tip is not wide enough? I watch a lot of your videos dude and respect your work for sure.

soppy wet. doesn't that cause runs and drips. it did for me. I had to back off a little.

Hi What kind of paint is needed for TEXTURED CEILINGS should i use flat ? thanks

Have you given any thought to using stilts like the drywall guys do to apply your paper? You wouldn't need to go up and down the ladder multiple times - saving a lot of time.

Hello there quick question do you caulk the 9 inch paper tape to the ceiling for perfect lines or you don't thanks

An answer to this question would be extremely helpful for first timers. Seems to have been asked several times. Hopefully we can get a helpful explanation if any caulking is involved or what kind of tape is being used.

What kind of tape did you use to tape the paper to the wall

how do you fix a run, a sag, and smaller paint drips? Will liquid sand paper smooth them out? Do you spray on a coat over that area?

Plastic was thrown up to protect walls but it wasn't all the way up to the ceiling. They used the tape and paper to finish covering the gap and probably make it easier to get a clean mask line against the ceiling.

The Idaho Painter Are you referring to preventing paint peeling up by pulling it off while wet, or pulling it off while wet actually prevents the wet paint from bleeding under the edge of the tape and onto the wall underneath? If you're doing two coats do you have to re-tape and do it twice?

@risepainting395

Did you ever get a good answer on the tape tearing paint off the wall UNDERNEATH the paint? I've been having that issue for quite a while... With a new builder/drywall crew, we hardly have the issue EVEN WITHOUT PRIMING! Our process has not changed, only the builder and drywall crew. I think it may have something to do with how the mud is mixed when they apply texture. Sometimes it is AWFUL and other times hardly even tears... We've tried 2050, 2020, Frogtape, IPG PG5, 2090 Blue... and I think that's it.

I like how you say "things" . I'm not making fun of you.

Is it easier to mask brown and plastic at the top rather than run 3m masking and just drop 9feet? I'm sure it's cheaper I guess? Just wondering why you don't mask and pull down your 3m.. Thank you!?

Do you just spray one coat of paint? By looking at most of your videos I don't see you wait and spray another coat so that means in just one coat you get just enough paint on the wall that you don't have to for another quote.

Serious question. Why did you paint the walls first then the ceiling. wouldn't you want to paint the ceiling 1st? then you wouldn't need to plastic everything off? Would you get that much over spray on the walls that it would hit the ceiling?

I just use a two metal shields to shield the ceiling. While one guy is on stilts spraying top half of walls the helper is cleaning the shield with water in a 5 gallon bucket then swaps the guy out on stilts with the clean shield. Then the guy on the ground sprays the bottom half of the ceilings horizontally as to not fan overspray up towards ceiling. This way the ceilings can be painted before lunch and the walls after because there is only the need for minimal dry time (tacking up) thats it.

About how much did it cost the customer for the job including materials?
