OT: Room painting, 2.5 Gallon pot sprayer Options

[Sparky]

I was over the *new* house and painted the ceiling today. Used my 2.5 Gallon pressure sprayer (Like this one) and had a lot of over spray. Anyone use one of these before? I had the regulator on the compressor set to 50Lbs. and the regulator on the pot set at about 20Lbs. Should I up the pot pressue to match the compressor? I'm sure the wife would appreciate me getting some good advice before I have to spend another 2 hours cleaning up latex overspray dust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Thanks!

Thanks Tom I've got both types of sprayers. I've only used the Wagner backpack set for staining the outside of the house in the past. Didn't notice overspray then. I tarped and taped the best I could, yesterday was ceilings today is walls. I'm pretty sure the pressure was a bit high. Today I'm dropping the pressure down and will use a couple of poly drops to seal off the doorways. I have a good sized cathedral ceiling and running up and down the scaffolding to refill paint trays was not an appealing thought!
