What is the easiest way to paint drop down acoustic ceiling tiles? I have taken these down and painted them by hand before. Is there an easier way without having to take them down? Also, what would be the best paint to use on the metal support bars?

Tips
1. Practice using the spray painter. ...
2. Spray painting ceiling tiles may affect their acoustical qualities. ...
3. It's possible to paint ceiling tiles with a roller, but often the paint goes on too thick and closes all the air pockets in the acoustical tiles.
4. If you have a garage, lay the plastic sheeting on the floor there.
