Spraying 15' High Ceilings?

dovetail

OK you painting pros please don't laugh at me...

MY EQUIPMENT:
I own a Graco Magnum XR7.

CHALLENGE:
I would like to spry the ceilings of a small'ish commercial building, ceilings are 15' high.

QUESTION:
I would like to spray the ceilings standing on the floor using an extension wand. I'm 5'6" and I'm thinking a 8 or 9 foot extension wand would work perfectly.

Am I crazy even thinking this would work???

Any feedback would be most appreciated, brand of wands to consider, tips, tricks, pitfalls to lookout for, etc.

THANKS!

It will work fine, just maybe not with a pump that small. Give it a try and if the pump can't keep up, rent a larger one.

How do you think your going to get a even spray being on the ground
I would set up scalfolding to get at least 8' off the ground to make sure coverage is good and then back roll it, Then what about the over spray if your on the ground, hope there's no up drafts so it takes your paint all over the place. I would brush and roll it, less clean up and prep to do.

You didn't say what you are spraying. For commercial I would guess Dryfall, and I wouldn't want to be 15' under that.

Yes, use an extension and backroll

setup a rolling tower scaffold (assuming you can) its would be easier to spray.
