How do you spray paint a ceiling?
Canvas ceilings were almost universally covered with calcimine paint, a Whiting-based (chalk) paint with few binders. If you try to paint over calcimine paint with anything other than new calcimine paint you will have a mess on your hands, as the new paint will pull what is essentially chalk dust from the canvas. NEVER use latex or oil-based paint to recoat calcimine. To read up on calcimine paint, go to the following URL: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=calcimine+paint&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Then go to the oldest paint store in your town and ask the oldest person employed there if the store still carries calcimine paint. (Young clerks won't have a clue.) Just be aware that when you add the weight of a gallon of paint to a canvas ceiling, the ceiling may sag in the middle from the added weight. It is therefore recommended that the old paint be removed first. To remove old calcimine paint from a canvas ceiling: Mix a pint of warm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid in a new plastic spray bottle. Mist the ceiling a few square feet at a time. Waiting a few minutes, then use a large cooking spoon (one with no sharp edges) to gently remove some of the old paint as it loosens, starting at a crack in the paint if possible. This is a tedious job, but it must be done or the new paint will no adhere well to the canvas. Let the canvas dry thoroughly for several days before reapplying calcimine paint. One thin coat should do. Good luck!
What is the meaning of the idiom whitewash?
Whitewash or calcimine is a cheap paint that you can use to cover up nasty stuff like smears, dents, and dirt on the back fence or whatever it is that you're trying to cover up. The dirt has not been removed, it is still there under a fresh coat of paint and so it 'looks' better.
What makes new paint splotch over old paint?
If you're getting a blotchy or splotchy appearance on your paint job, chances are that you needed to prime prior to painting. It could be due to water stains, nicotine, calcimine or inexpensive paint on the previous coat or repairs that were never primed then painted with flat paint. Best bet is to use a good toulene based stain-blocking primer, following the label directions. This will fix just about any problem that is causing splotchiness, then coat with whatever sheen you prefer.
