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.

Yes, it works will in final prep. You still need to wet & scrape before sanding. I can no longer do popcorn ceilings without it.

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.

In the western world no one has used more of this paint than me...you will be fine if don't make the mistake of using the "Universal" formula which is meant for plastics..buy an extra can or two..it is very useful...cheapest at Walmart. I've done desks, chairs, mirrors, lamps and two refrigerators...good luck

We used it to paint our bedroom and it was great. Not sure how it would be on smaller projects but it was awesome for us. Much better than a roller

Would depend on use of brushes etc.. Great for someone "playing" - . Finding , for me - need of stronger cleaners . Then I'm painting "a lot"... It's ok ..Good luck ..

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 agree with Deidre W. I would not do that. Altho I applied it over SOME ceiling cracks , was pretty smooth surface, besides , I think it would tend to pull the popcorn off.

You could paint your house with this. I wouldn't, but you could. For a few reasons... First, the paint container it comes with is so small you would have to refill it several times. (but they do have a backpack tank you can purchase seperately.) Second, is you have to thin the paint quite a bit to spray, and I don't mind this on interior projects, but I like a nice thick coat of paint on the outside of a house. You would definitely have to do multiple coats. (as in 3-4 coats) I really like the sprayer, but I don't think it's practical for spraying an entire house, more for small projects.

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

looking at the picture of the paashe h I'd say yes. I put different colors in 10 bottles and only use it maybe once a week Just shake it up or stir it before use and to help keep my air gun clean between paints I use thinner to make sure all paint is gone, you can use water but I found paint stayed behind sometimes.

I do a lot of work with latex paint and I don't think you will find any in a spray can. The medium by nature is way too thick.

Your ready to paint. I sprayed my ceiling in a bedroom. Worked great. Only down side is takes time to clean the sprayer. If you don't it won't work next time.

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.

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!

You can paint almost anything with this. But painting a house would take a very long time (an average size house) considering it only has a one quart cup, it won't be the most efficient way to go ( unless you have loads of time and patience, and it's YOUR house). This unit is made for small to medium jobs. They're 2-5 gallon capacity airless paint sprayers available if you want to paint a house

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!
