If you’ve already painted your walls, or don’t plan to paint them, it’s worth hanging plastic sheeting over the walls as well. You’ll also want to cover your windows and doors with plastic sheeting.
Priming is a necessary step to prepare the ceiling to take the ceiling paint. You should use a stain-blocking primer if your ceiling has any water, smoke, or other stains. If your ceiling is textured, use a high-build primer.
When you start painting with the roller, try to paint in three to five-inch squares. You can keep better track of your progress and quality of work this way. It’s important to coat the paint evenly to avoid imperfections.
Tinted paint and bright white paint usually require two coats of paint. If you do opt for a second coat, make sure you give the first coat time to dry first.
