I am currently spraying the walls in my shop with a pearl white latex paint . The second coat is impossible to see while spraying, I have tried additional lighting from the top, back, side , and still feel like I am spraying with invisible paint . The only time I can see what kind of a job I did is when I stand way back from the wall and view it from an angle .
Any ideas how I can see the paint going on while I spray ? Thanks !

If you can't say anything nice about someone, you must be talking about
Hilary Clinton.

Can't you put a light at an angle to your work and see the shine of the
wet paint on the wall?

Robert

Mix in a tiny amount of tide or woolite. Buy a blacklight. Marijuana is
optional.

The missus reckons I should spray my shed with that stuff, (Invisible
Paint). She has no taste and says it's an eyesore.

My only objection is that I wouldn't be able to find the door

Hi Rich,
Most stores around here sell a ceiling paint designed to deal with
that problem. It has a blue tinge but dries white. But then again, if
you already have the paint... .

You should be able to see the wet line going on if you're spraying it right
Rich. Stand so that you can watch your fan and see it as it goes on -
usually a bit from the leading side. Spray for an even wet pattern and
don't worry about coverage. If you stand back after you're done and
discover you need another coat - do it all again.

After living in our new home for 6 years my wife decided that we should
paint the interior of the house AND ceilings. We have heavily textured 10"
high ceilings. My wife literally had to shine a spot light on the cieling
surface so that I could get a wet paint reflection so that I could see what
had been painted and what remained to be painted.

If you cannot see the difference I would say that you are finished painting.

Reminds me of a story from high school. Science teacher sent not-too-bright
troublemaker on an errand to the shop to pick up a can of striped paint.
Shop teacher (and every subsequent teacher) immediately realized the joke
and had troublemaker running all over the school from teacher to teacher for
the entire science period.

Lmao!

There is a story about this from the Army -- One morning, the Sargent sends
a recruit to go get a bucket of striped paint. Recruit goes off to the QM,
who (oddly enough!) doesn't have any. Next stop, the motor pool, where he
explains his problem to the Master Sargent, and asks to check out a jeep, to
go into town to find some. The MSgt goes along with the gag, and signs him
out a jeep.

The recruit is gone _all_day_, gets back *just* before curfew. The motor
pool sargent is still on duty -- for reasons unexplained. Unlikely as it
may seem, he took pity on the recruit, and gently explained that there was
no such thing as striped paint. "I know _that_, Sarge", the recruit replied,
but looking for it got me out of the duty work detail, _and_ I got to spend
the day in town, with a jeep!"

I've good reason to believe this is a _true_ story -- I heard it, first hand,
from one of the involved parties. The recruit in question is a relative,
Whe Fort Hood, TX. When, 1960s.

_SOMEBODY_ (unfortunately, right now I can't think _who_) makes an add-in
for paint that is *exactly* that. Comes as a powdew to be mixed into the
paint. Purple when it's wet, goex clear as it dries.

Dunno what happens if you go to wash the painted surface at a later date.

The troublemaker was not so dumb after all. He got out of science
class without a detention for skipping. Well, on the other hand he
didn't get the education he should have, so perhaps not so bright
either.

It then shows you where you've already washed. :-)

Hey, I actually saw that field when I was in the Orient. I know,
because it had your name on it. You've got a typo or two there tho.
Where you say 18, it should say 58. And, yes I don't doubt they are
virgins - anyone that ugly just about "has" to be a virgin. And, where
you say sheer silk, it should say stained silk. However, I "will"
attest to the care they give those tea plants. They even fertilize the
plants on a regular basis. Enjoy your tea.

I've only seen this used for flat ceiling paint, already pre-mixed in
it. It only comes in one color (white), though the 'wet color' can
vary, pink, purple, blue. Not sure if there's some limitation for not
being able to use it with glossy paint.

I've used it in a few rooms. Getting it wet doesn't seem to turn it
pink (ours was pink) again, but we found that when painting the closet
walls after doing the ceiling, concentrated paint fumes seems to make
it turn vaguely pink again (the ammonia, maybe). This didn't happen
until after we'd painted it, gone away for awhile, and gone back in to
check how things looked.
