    Hello Sir, I was wondering if the over spray ended up leaving a haze on the walls and other uncovered items in the room. I only have a ceiling vent in my bathroom and I obviously don't want to paint the walls with overspray if that happens. I have a garden tub and a stand up shower to do in one bathroom spraying would be the easiest as opposed to rolling but if paint over spray is going to go everywhere I may decide to roll it on. really like the look of your finished product so I am hoping i can spray it on. Thanks much appreciated.
