        Q:I see that you recommend a 517 tip, would I be able to use a 417 tip? It appears to be the same tip with a smaller fan spread

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to help! Yes, a 417 tip would be a smaller spray pattern then the 517, and can be used to apply Rust-Oleum Zinsser Dry Fall Coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

          Painting basement exposed ceiling
          After doing some searching around and video watching I went with product. I went with the white do to having 7ft ceiling and read that if you have low ceiling to do white as the black will close the room in. I used a airless sprayer with this product. It was easy to work with and clean up was good but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRIMING FIRST! As you can is in the pictures it looks great on wires and ductwork but a lot of bleeding on the wood. Going to prime and re-paint. Fingers crossed.

          Thank you for reaching out, John, and sharing your experience. Since wood is a more porous surface, the coverage rate of Rust-Oleum Zinsser Dryfall Waterborne Coating will be affected. If there are knots in the wood, they can be spot primed with an oil-based primer to help with coverage.

            Quality paint, good coverage
            There was little splattering with this paint - I used it with a sprayer in our basement on stone walls and the exposed ceiling. The coverage was good - it did turn creamy colored on the raw wood joists, but I expected that. Overall, I’m pleased with the results and would use again.

              Paint the ceiling in our basement using a sprayer. Applied 3 coats. Was covered after 2 coats. Did the 3rd coat just because we had some left. Has a flat appearance and seems to have adhered well. The only down side is that it left a musty odor that is lingering still after a few weeks. Besides the odor i like it.

              7' ceiling had some issues
              Went with this concept because older home had a lower 7' ceiling and felt using cieling tiles would lower it even more. Had a professional spray it and he did cover entire area with plastic which ended up being necessary as the paint did not dry in the short distance to floor and became very messy. The only dissapointment I had was that the conduit all peeled quickly and the paint just fell off in many spots, requiring me to go back and repaint with a brush. This was after I had literally washed all the conduit and air ducts to get all of the dust off. With that being said I do like the overall look. Frank

              Thank you for sharing your experience and providing feedback on our Zinsser Dryfall Commercial and Industrial Waterborne Coating, Frank. This coating is designed to quickly dry to a dust like finish within 10 feet, for quick and easy clean up. Lower ceilings may present issues, as the coating will not have adequate time to dry before landing on the floor. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum

                Great Product!! We used to to paint our basement ceiling and duct work. Turned out very well. We used a paint sprayer to apply the paint. After we was done painting. Clean up was easy after it dried we sweep most of it up and used our shop vac to get it up the rest of the way.

                After I spent 15min stirring it because it was completely separated into one giant hard ball in the middle with the water-like liquid surrounding it, it went on the metal and romex excellent. Coverage was a 7/10. I did have to go over the ductwork twice. But this product is *terrible* if you're trying to coat wood joists and subfloors. It takes 2-3 coats, and that's not really what this was made for, but despite all the DIY websites saying it's great for wood, it's not!!! What I ended up doing is using Valspar Ultra ultra flat white for the ceilings, but I had to get it tinted to match this dryfall color. I first used this dryfall paint on the romex and ductwork, then I sprayed the Valspar on the wood. It took one coat for the most part, some places two, but the 2nd, if I did it, was a "light mist" covering, nowhere like the first. I did put the first Valspar layer on a bit thicker than usual and it worked great.

                Used for Basement Ceiling in white. Took 14 gal and 3 coats to cover a 27 x 30 foot area . I also stain killer on knots after 3rd coat. Also did not cover as well as expected on duct work. Had contractor spray so could have been the way he applied. Over all happy with result.
