is it good for painting ceilings?

With the twelve inch extension we painted 1400 sq feet of 9' ceilings in about an hour for each coat.

Hi Sue, I used it to paint a ceiling and walls. As with any sprayer there is a lot of over-spray so mask and cover floors and any area you don't want "misted". Be sure to wear goggles and respirators for your safety. I started by testing my sprayer by starting painting into a large empty box to be sure it was working properly . After working all of the plastic coverings and rags and whatever went into the box and out with the trash.

Yes....I've done both interior walls and ceilings. Be sure to have a good respirator, saftey goggles, etc

That is why I bought it. It works great especially on "popcorn" ceilings that are impossible to paint with brush or roller. Cleanup is a bother so try to mask off and paint all the ceilings you are going to do at once.

I used it to paint a large shed and it made short work of it. I tried to roll it but had difficulty because of the sidings textured surface. After getting the sprayer the job was finished much faster and consumed much less paint.Ceilings may be difficult because of the position of the draw from the reservoir. Pointing the sprayer up to spray the eaves required frequent topping of the reservoir.

I would not hesitate to use it to spray paint a large graphitti. There would be enough paint in the hopper to paint a whole line of train cars!

Spray generally won't work (it will eat the Styrofoam), a good latex paint with either a brush or roller works real easy. If you have a large area you could set up a sprayer with latex paint, that would be fine. We did the open ceiling area on the ceiling with a brush, and the edges of the ceiling we did on a bench and installed them after the paint was dry. Good luck!

No. Do not use this for a ceiling. It is only good for taping carpet seams together. It would not be a permanent solution for a ceiling and it would not look good trying to paint it. If your ceiling is drywall, I'd try using drywall tape and joint compound. Good luck.

The answers is yes BUT. I bought this sprayer to paint the vertical walls of a garage and what ever mistakes I made did not show up. I did not paint the ceiling with this sprayer, but I could have. The areas I sprayed did well. The tube inside the container has to be in a position to use up the paint or it is many trips up & down the ladder. It depends on the size of your project. I am satisfied the with this sprayer for the size of my project. I would have bought a better sprayer for a bigger project.

this sprayer comes with a 5 foot suction tube which connects to the gun into a remote container. With this tube you could handle the gun at any direction you wish. So I believe it is capable of spraying a ceiling. It is an excellent sprayer. Roger

Hi there I use it for a much larger painting ,high up on a living room wall and a very dark colors painting....so unfortunately it is not strong enough, but we still love it.we also use it for a smaller brighter painting in the dining room and there it is fine. So I believe it should be ok for yours...

Yes that's what I used it for. It's a very small can of interior paint. I used it to cover some repaired drywall.

Hi Jay, Yes... I've used it to paint ceilings, as well as walls. Coincidentally I will also be painting a carport ceiling in just a few weeks. You'll need a ladder with a platform (like a Little Giant) or some way to be comfortable and have stable footing... so that you can get relatively close to the ceiling, for accuracy and so that the paint hits the ceiling, instead of falling on the floor. When you arms get tired, take a break... it'll improve accuracy. You may want to take the paint close to the edges with the Flexio, but do the actual edging by hand... unless you can get physically close to the edges and have steady hands. Enjoy!

It'll work. I wouldn't though. It has a 3-4 inch spray pattern which requires several passes for an adequate coat. Would take several hours for a 10x10 ceiling. Rollering will be 5x faster.

I have never tried it on the ceiling. It might work. I only use it on smothe floor surfaces like hardwood, vinyl, ceramic tile.

The instructions say for outdoor use or in well ventilated areas. I don't know if its safe to use indoors. You can use a spray paint for popcorn ceilings, but it is hard to tell how many cans you will need, it all depends on how thick you put it on. You might want to go to a hardware store or Home Depot - Lowe's and ask someone in the paint department what you should use.

Absolutely, works very well, except when the previous owner painted on the popcorn ceiling over wallpaper. Just wet a small area at a time though. The tool works really well otherwise!

This will not work for paint. Paint requires a large amount of air. To do continuous painting you will probably need to go to a gas powered compressor and if it is a one time job I would consider renting one instead of buying a large compressor. Aside from the extra money a large compressor takes more room to store and is louder when it runs this small compressor is great for finish work and small projects stores easily and is easy to lift and move around.

I only used it for painting the underside of my truck and exhaust. I no longer have the can. Sorry. I would read to see if it can be used on indoor furniture, for instance, to determine if it is indoor friendly.I think other types of spray paint would be more appropriate.

This hopper is only for spraying thinned out joint compound "mud" on walls and ceilings for the purpose of adding texture before painting. It would not work for spraying paint or sealer of any kind.
