What happens here

When the walls are a different color or sheen than the ceilings, a different strategy is employed. In this case, first spray the ceilings using the airless paint sprayer. After the ceilings are completed and dried, use a paint roller to apply paint to the walls. This approach helps avoid lap marks and spray marks on the walls, which are more common when walls are sprayed, ensuring a nicer, more even finish.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, even finish on both ceilings and walls when they have different colors or sheens.

What they say

Hide

spray the walls and the ceilings the one color, one sheen. If your walls are a different color than your ceilings, then we have a different situation and we're going to probably roll the walls and spray the ceilings. We do have one scenario. If you're going to be painting the trim, the walls, and the ceilings, and they're going to all be different colors or the ceiling is going to be flat, then we're actually going to spray our ceilings with our airless sprayer.
