Spray painting

[nod]

We hired a spray machine today

£80 for the week

Ehat a machine Five bedrooms sprayed to a lovely finish 

It took a bit of time priming the machine and getting used to it

But is it as quick and easy as this?

Not as Quik But messier ?

I feel the need for another rookie question. Does spray painting of a new build mandate the same colour for both the ceiling and walls?

No, but you will need to mask out the ceiling once you’ve done that first, fairly easy to do with a good quality low tack tape round the edge first and then some poly mask such as this:

We are doing all ours white for now

Most of the sites tend finish the ceilings in white 

and mist coat the walls in white 

Then go along afterwards with a roller for the walls 

Certainly quicker than a roller 

and a neater  finish

Yup. Mist costing with the sprayer for walls and final coats for ceilings is ultra quick but the overspray will get anywhere and everywhere without careful masking.  

Thanks to one company I had the worlds first magnolia Bosch jigsaw.

Your kidding 

Masked all the windows and floors 

still gets everywhere

Leave it an hour and wipe off. Stays wet on non pourous surfaces for hours.
