As long as you didn't use the screw on cup and put the hose directly into the paint can. It sprays in any direction. Use a drop cloth though.

I would have to say yes. The sprayer has adjustable volumes for the paint. You may need to adjust the angle to get all of the nooks and crannys. Also overspray will probably be brutal due to gravity. Falling on you and the floor... Hope this helps

It will do popcorn touch ups, however, you will have to block off whatever you don't want sprayed. Used cheap plastic and staple to ceiling for best results. Mix a small quantity and go for it.

it works, yes, but keep in mind ceiling paint is thicker than wall paint, and it always takes more of a lighter color to cover darker colors. It primed and sprayed fine, but with ceilings I had to go in a criss-cross grid pattern for two coats to get smooth and complete coverage. I think the machine is jsut not designed for such heavy paint, though it can spray it without any problems. It may be as simple as not having the correct tip size, because I was using the tip that came with the machine and dont know enough to make a decision about different tip sizes. I would give it 10/10 on all the wall paints I used and 7/10 on ceiling paints, as it comes out of the box.

I believe you would have to use a gravity hopper for the popcorn texture. If textture is there and you are just repainting then yes it will work

If it's a highly textured wall such as popcorn, it's not going to work. However, normal smooth drywall is a great surface for these. They are quite sticky.

You can use it for spray ceiling but I never use it for popcorn texture so can't tell.

I don't think it will work on a previously painted popcorn. Painted popcorn has absorbed the paint and therefore is much harder to scrape off.

As long as you can get it to stick, you should be fine. We used this on the pipe from our wood stove back to the chimney to turn it from silver to black, so I'd imagine it would work in other locations. you might need to clean thoroughly and sand first though. Try it and see how it works. The key is this is high temperature resistant paint, so it wont bubble and burn off.

Hmm, not sure. I've put it on a popcorn ceiling before and it didn't mark it, but it was only there for about a day, so not sure about the long-term effects. The weight distribution seems to prevent any kind of damage.I'd say if the ceiling seems sturdy(would you feel comfortable punching it, or would your hand go through?) then go for it!

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.

Its just paint, so should work. Just remember there are different shades of white. So use sparingly and try a small place first.

You don't need to drill your ceiling. It stays in place by tension in a spring through the shaft. You have to hold the spring depressed and wedge it into place. You need to have a solid ceiling, as opposed to tiles that sit in a metal frame. But it will work with a popcorn finish. The shelves are particle board.

I would think, not. You would not be able to maintain a constant pressure so spray pattern would be varying. Cleanup would also be a consideration. I know the NAPA store I once worked at could fill aerosol paint cans with your paint code....a bit pricy, but a MUCH simpler solution.

I like it for popcorn but have no experience with using it for other tasks.

Michael I am not sure since my husband is the one who ordered and used this for the first time. All I do know is the bathroom looks great with it...no more popcorn ceilings !!! I will ask him if you'd like when I chat with him this evening.

It will go over paint with no problem and you can work it into the details to make them "pop". However, I like it primarily for stained finishes. Another, and probably better technique with painted pieces is to use a tinted glaze -- you can better control the amount applied and wiped off, and you can use different colors (e.g., tea stain). Good luck.

It will work on ceilings; make sure you position the intake tube toward the rear of the sprayer.
