can you paint ceilings

No, although the unit has an adjustable direction stem you will not get even coverage. This is not a big job unit, it works best with very thin paint and on application like painting a fence or cabinet doors. Unit should be held level while spraying . . .

Actually you can. But my suggestion for this sprayer is to use Oil Based paints and enamels. It says you can use latex. But even after using latex paint conditioner and watering the pain down somewhat, it still clogged and sputtered. I actually painted my outdoor porch underlayment(ceiling) with a high gloss white oil based enamel and it went on very even and good without overspray.

You can. There's a little bent straw in the paint well that feeds the paint. You need to have enogh paint in the well for the straw to be submerged in paint when painting above you.

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

I'm not sure but I believe that you can. I know for a fact that you can paint over this with chalkboard paint. The primer is very dark though.

Hi Sue, I used it to paint a ceiling and walls. As with any sprayer there is a lot of over-spray so mask and cover floors and any area you don't want "misted". Be sure to wear goggles and respirators for your safety. I started by testing my sprayer by starting painting into a large empty box to be sure it was working properly . After working all of the plastic coverings and rags and whatever went into the box and out with the trash.

I am sure you can paint any thing if you have the right primer and paint for the surface. Ask the paint store for the right products.

Spray paint yes, also be sure not to screw down to tight because they will crack. Looks great.

The grill is paintable. I believe my installer mounted them flush to the ceiling.

Yes, you can paint and draw on them. Because the surface is somewhat rough they don't do well for fine art so my zen tangles didn't work out very well.

Yes you can. However, the single action of the brush will only allow you to change air pressure and the amount of paint being shot out. Using a double action brush will allow you to change line variance and spray pattern during the process of painting.

Yes, I assume you can, if it's painted so it doesn't soak in and ruin the drywall. It doesn't seem to stain.

I had mine put up by somebody but if you have higher ceilings I'm sure all you have to do is go to your local hardware store and purchase a chain that size. So to answer that yes you can

It's definitely white but not a glaringly modern white. If you want off white, as long as you don't pair it with a white-white ceiling medallion, that could work. In fact, you can probably fake it with a medallion that you paint off-white and you'll be just fine.

Don't use spray paint because the chemical in it will eat the Styrofoam. Just use ceiling paint and roll it on.

no you don't have to paint it, you can to give it your desired color, the most you can do is line in the small channels with grey or black lining marker

My opinion is that you can paint anything. Having said that, some things take more effort than others. This would be one of those. Since the surfaces are laminate smooth, I think you would need to start with a good coat of primer and then go from there.

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!
