Can I paint the ceiling with this sprayer?

Yes, angle it at steep 60 degrees. Try to keep inlet hose toward you in paint container. Careful, slow & watch for drip formation. Thet really need to design a container for that.

Yes, it will paint a ceiling really quick. Grayco makes a universal adjustable extension for spraying ceilings or floors while holding the cup level. It's sold at Home Depot. A little info on it: The TrueCoat Rigid Extension not only extends your reach but allows you to keep the TrueCoat sprayer horizontal while spraying ceilings and floors to use virtually all of the material in the cup before refilling. Makes it easier to spray ceilings, walls, and floors with a consistent, even spray pattern Patented integrated needle shuts the fluid off at the tip for a crisp pattern with no spitting. Exclusive, 2-way pivot point design allows you to angle the pole 180 degrees Length is 12 in. (30 cm) Tip and guard not included Search for "12 in. TrueCoat Paint Sprayer Rigid Extension'

I Would have to say No. The sprayer itself is plastic. This item is a POS. Tried many thing to get it to work to no avail. Paint just comes out in any pattern it feels like.

i used the spray to pre-treat my popcorn ceiling. I am not sure it will work too well if you are considering it to use as a sprayer to clean the balcony. It is not a high pressure sprayer.

For home use and light hobby work, yes. I've used mine to paint trim work (baseboards, window trim etc.) with thinned enamel paint and to apply stain & poly finish on wood furniture I have made (T.V. cabinet, Medicine cabinet, ect.) If you plan to use your sprayer in a commercial setting (Multiple users, tossed in a job box at the end of a shift, etc.) you may want to try a turbine unit. For single users like myself I believe it is the best bang for your buck.

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.

Yes, I used latex paint with the sprayer. You will need to thin the paint, and spray multiple coats.

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

yes,you can mix paint in the material to be sprayed but it won't have the same look as a rolled or sprayed ceiling.The paint really just helps the material bond better,paint is inside the material and not coated on the outside.I would mix it with the pop corn type ceiling texture as you don't paint it when new.Orange peel and spatter and knock down types you need to prime anyway.

I didn't do this but I don't see why you couldn't. I used some small nails and put on my wall but it should work on your ceiling as well.

I wouldn't try to. Can a paint nozzle be used with it? Also having an open paint container above the head could create some humorous situations.

yeah, but not 100% without some care and help with priming. i sprayed some heavy ceiling paint but it took as long as using a roller.... so if that's all you are considering using the machine for, i might pass. it is really designed for "regular" paints

I doubt you'd like the results! The sprayer puts out a rather uneven (for painting) spray and has a limited range of spray patterns which are are simply controlled by the nozzle. I'd recommend an inexpensive paint sprayer. It's also designed to work with a very thin liquid.

That would be along the lines of what this sprayer was meant for. However, I'd be inclined to believe that it's better suited for traditional enamels such as you could buy in quart cans at a home center. I don't know that I'd want to spray any hot lacquers through it, or anything too exotic such as two part isocyanates or anything else where you'll want to be wearing a 'space suit' and breathing through a supplied air respirator. Now, those could work! But I've never tried it, and I'd want to hear from someone who has before attempting it. Rustoleum or the like, absolutely. Do be sure to properly thin whatever you spray, of course.

I don't think so. It has no control over the spray pattern. It is for spraying such liquids as WD40 and other chemicals. I would not even attempt to use it for paint.

Not really. The nozzles are not meant for that type of precise work and the pressure would be too high and vary so much as to make control tough. An airbrush is the way to go for you.

I sprayed the ceiling just fine. You may want to add paint to its tank a little bit more often to compensate for tilted orientation, but it's not a big deal. Alternatively they sell an pivoting extender that you can angle at 90 degrees to keep the sprayer upright, but I'm not sure that it is worth the extra cost.

In theory you could but the results would not be very good. This is a low pressure sprayer and to do things like cars you need high pressure. I do not think this will give a fine enough mist to allow you to avoid orange peel effect. That would be true even if you thinned the paint. I would suggest a small compressor rated for paint spraying.
