Finishing the basement and are just going to paint the ceiling (floor joists, ducts, etc.) Will this do the job? Anyone used the can attachment?

Yes, it will do the job perfectly. The can attachment has the EZ tilt feature that enables you to paint at any angle.

nI do not use this to paint your ceiling too much over spray.I would use a roller tried to use a power painter on the ceiling once took me two days to clean the woodwork.

Yes. I bought this to hang from our unfinished basement ceiling, but we had to go to a hardware store to buy eye bolts to hang the carabiners. (the carabiners are included with the rings). My kids love it. I'm not sure the best way to hang this if you had a drywalled (or other finished) ceiling....

This has a built in trim ring and is held into the hole in the ceiling by spring clips. They don't require or even work with a can...just the hole in the sheetrock.

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. 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'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 checked the manufacturer's web site for specifications. They claim that it can be used as a primer for other paints, so I painted over the Hydro Seal 75 that I had applied with a vapor-barrier type paint. The combination seems to work really well. I'm not ready to sell my basement dehumidifier yet, but it hasn't been used since I painted the walls about seven months ago.

This is just a tool you place on a can so you can get can contents out with a trigger pull instead of pushing down on the button on top of the can. It doesn't contain any product contents. If the spray insulation you are using has a traditional spray button with a narrow tube to direct the foam, you should be able to use it. You would put the Can Gun on the can button first and then feed the narrow tube through the front of the can gun into the hole on the front of the button.

Neither. You need to attach it to a can in the ceiling that is supported by joists or similar.

You most certainly do not want to spray paint from this device or any professional sprayer without covering EVERYTHING in the room. Yes, you should worry about over spray and paint particles especially if you are not a pro. If you can't cover EVERYTHING in the room (including the floor) I would recommend that you use a roller. I used this for the initial primer on all four walls and the ceiling with ZERO furniture in the room and the floor entirely covered in tarp. I then used the sprayer for only the ceiling and then switched to a roller for the walls to avoid over spray and particles on the finished surfaces.

It's a 20 ounce cup like it says. Concerning paint, I just used latex paint in mine today to paint a door. It just needs to be thinned or it will clog the sprayer. As far as pressure goes, that's only limited to the compressor it's attached to though there is a safe operating range. It's all in the instructions that come with it. I'm not sure how this could be used to paint a ceiling as the paint is gravity fed meaning that the nozzle can't really be pointed upward. I've only used mine on rockets and a door so maybe someone else can help you there.

I would get two. This stuff is very thick and goes fast. I did my basement floor and thought I had enough to do the whole thing, however I needed two full cans. When using, make sure you shake it up really really well. There is a sand grit to it which just sits on the bottom until you shake it. Then pour into a painters pan and spread around to make it even when you apply it.It works great, I love it and even outside it lasts. Best of luck.

We use it to vent two bathrooms at once with a "Y" branch fitting to take humidity out. Works great,so for a basement, probably would work well also. We let it run all the time coupled with a speed control ,low when no showers are going on, and high with a shower.

I do not know if you can use the compressor with a spray gun other than the B&D; that was design for this compressor. I used the spray gun for ceilings and have no complaints. Remember to cover everything when using for the ceiling and have the angle of the paint tube pointing towards you.

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!

It should. If you have a leak under the concrete the area should be hotter than other areas of the basement floor. I like how this works and is one of the easier ones to use and well worth the money if you have other uses for it. I found a lot of cold spots and air lease in a house I am working on using the instrument.

I use mine on a 1 inch galvanized pipe mounted to the floor joists above my basement. It's a tight fit, but works fine.

I think it works best for walls. Ceiling make it real messy. You will need to adjust the spray and viscosity to get the look you want. I did an entire garage and it looked good. I did the "knock down". Note sure I'd like it for the "orange peel" look as it does spit a bit. You will need to cover anything you do not want to get spray on. It is very messy... but some of that may just be me. I hope it works for you.
