Well, I'm finally preparing to start a townhouse in three days.
I'm ready to try out my new Graco 395. Bought serveral tips so that, once I get into it, I may graduate to that Wide RacX that shoots a 12-14" wide swath on the end of a 10" extension.
The popcorn ceilings are going to get an off white (flat)that goes with the Wall color- BM Monroe Bisque *medium, calm brown (eggshell luster). I need to color match the current trim paint since most of the doors and jams are in good shape. I'll be spraying the rest of the trim (baseboards, partition caps, window sills, etc.) with BM Waterborne Satin Impervo.
I'm thinking that, in order to eliminate as much taping as possible, I'm going to spray the trim, first. Fortunately, almost all of the doors and jams were done recently so I can bag them. Once the trim cures, I'll spray the walls. Once they are dry, I'll mask the walls at the ceiling and spray the ceilings last.
So, here in Northern Delaware, I have access to BM, S/W, Behr, Valspar, and there's a PPG store that I've never been in, too. I usually paint BM paints but, since I'm spraying popcorn, I want to be totally done after cross-spraying the ceiling. There's a stress crack in the ceiling wallboard. I would love to spray that with something that would make it go away after two passes. Any ideas? This ceiling is popcorn, twenty years old and hasn't been painted since the build. I'd like to spray it with something that is going to seal it down on the first spray coat. Again, since this will be a first for me (spraying a popcorn ceiling), I'm open to suggestions (date I say this? "hopefully, suggestions with experience behind them." LOL:icon_cheesygrin:
