Spraying Interior Walls
Getting ready to paint the interior walls of a new flip project and I want to use a sprayer.. Using 1 color only.. Not spraying the ceiling or trim. What do I need to make sure I mask off? Windows/Doors.. What about the ceiling? How far does overspray travel? Thanks in advance!

@Alex Locklear Hi Alex, I'd make sure to have my handy M3000 hand masker and tape off the ceiling and trim with it. Makes taping a hell of a lot easier that way. Make sure to use at least 9 inch paper. I think 12 inches would be a good way to go just to be safe. I'd also check out the Idaho Painter on Youtube. Very good info about painting there and pretty much answers any question you can possibly have about DIY painting.
