Plus the backside of the shield will leave paint on the ceiling any way. Shielding the ceilings without masking them will not only bog down the actual spraying process which you usually want to eliminate as many variables as possible, especially in a cramped areas like a hallway, but it is highly likely that indirect fog will make it onto surfaces where it is not wanted. (You will want to run low-tack tape on the trim so you don't have to cut in anywhere with your brush on an uneven stucco/knockdown surface, unless low tack-wont stick to the trim, in which case use good quality regular tack 3m.)
With surfaces like knockdown, you can just FLY with your brush and your roller because you don't have to worry about brush marks or roller texture. In any case I highly doubt it's worth your time to spray the walls. In the future if it is strategically advantageous to paint the ceilings, I would sell the customer on the fact that it will be easier to paint them, then not paint them.
)Įven if you spray the walls you will have to caulk the corners to get a clean line masking, which means you will have to touch up the ceiling to cover the caulk.Īs Jason suggested, painting the ceilings might be advantageous even if you pay for the paint. ( and painting/priming the caulk prior to masking so the masking doesn't pull the caulking off. This is assuming that there is a decent line on the trim and base to cut to.Īnd if there is not, you still will not get a clean line masking without putting caulk in the corner first. If you have any of the ceiling paint or can get an exact match, you can put a lot of caulk in the corners, paint over the caulk with the ceiling color, then cut and roll the walls normally. You would have to mask the ceiling off completely in order to spray, even if the direct overspray is only a few inches, the FOG will tag the middle of the ceiling where there is no masking.Īlso it will be a b*tch having residents walking up and down the hallway and in an out of their apartments when you have the doors all masked off/sprayer going. That space is too cramped and has very little square footage to masking ratio to be very effective for spraying.
