Questions & Answers

Can it be used for a horizontal application?

Answer This Question

Happy to help, Alan! Due to the design of the nozzle, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Covers Up Ceiling Spray Paint and Primer in One is intended for use on ceilings. We do not recommend applying it to vertical surfaces, or on horizontal surfaces where the can would be held upside down. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

            Happy to help Eric. Zinsser Covers Up Ceiling Paint & Primer is a low odor stain blocker and ceiling touch-up paint in one can. It sprays vertically for ease of use, seals water stains, and has a flat white finish that matches new acoustic ceiling tiles. Covers Up is a great choice for covering stains and touching up ceiling paint. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

              Yes it works on minor stains. If the stain is really bad or the tile has physical damage then its is better to replace the tile. There is one for older tiles ( off White ) and one for newer ( White ) ceiling tiles, so be sure you pick the one you need. I have used the white several times over the past 7 years for minor marks and stains.

                I have used this multiple times in basement renovations and it works wonderfully. Follow the coverage recommendations and complete the ceiling before painting walls. Product can be ordered by the case and shipped right to your home.

                      It can but cover the floor well as it goes every where. It does not cover as well as other products so you will likely have to put several coats on small stain.

                              If I could give this 100 stars I would!
                              I'm absolutely blown away. I have a traditional popcorn ceiling, house built in the 70's, with two brown stains in the back bedroom and one huge white spot (whiter than the ceiling) from a former roof repair, plus various places where the former owner had hit the ceiling by accident with a paint roller. Dibs and dabs everywhere! Faced with the daunting task of painting my entire ceiling throughout the house, I started with coating the two brown stains with this product. I could hardly believe my eyes!!! It blended so perfectly with the popcorn ceiling, so much so that I applied the color fix to the rest of the spots throughout my house. Unbelievable. I no longer need to paint my ceiling. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

                                Can still see through some spots even after 3 coats. There should be an additional spray attachment that will allow painting in a down position. There is too much overspray painting vertically up. Difficult to paint down with the current setup.
