What are the best conditions for spray painting?

What causes blotchy when spray painting?
They are caused by improper handling of the spray paint can or sprayer. Beginner mistakes like lingering too long on one spot, stopping your spray on the project, or being too close are all causes of that blotchy spray paint look.
What do you cover when spraying paint?
If you’re spraying paint or texture, you’ll need to mask off entire rooms or walls. The easiest way to do this is to run a strip of wide painter’s tape (3+ inches) around the perimeter of the ceiling. Only adhere the top edge of the tape, leaving the bottom edge exposed.
Is it OK to spray paint in high humidity?
While each and every scenario is different, spray painting is typically best done in environments with a relative humidity of 40-50%. High humidity can be equally as problematic for workers attempting to spray paint a surface. As the humidity rises, it will take longer and longer for paint to dry.
How do I get a smooth finish with a spray gun?

Why does my paint job look blotchy?
Debris on the surface such as dust or grime can prevent the paint from adhering properly. If portions of the wall are clean while others are dirty then it can lead to an uneven and splotchy appearance. In order to prevent this, you need to properly clean and prepare the surface before you paint.
How do you fix blotchy spray paint?
Spray paint can produce a blotchy-looking surface when painting over a large surface area, so the best way to overcome that is to sand the blotchy surface until it’s smooth and then roll on or brush on a clear coat, over the whole piece.
Is it better to roll paint or spray?
Paint rolling allows you more leeway when the surface isn’t perfectly clean. Rolled paint goes on thick on the initial coat and bonds better to the surface. The tiny paint droplets produced by spraying do not connect with each other as well as rolled-on paint.
Is it better to paint ceiling or walls first?
If you’re painting an entire room, first paint the ceiling, then the walls. It’s also usually better to paint large areas like walls before repainting the trim; because you’ll work more quickly when covering open areas, this can result in roller spatters, overspray and occasional errant brushstrokes.
