Sorry for the late reply. The idea of back rolling is to eliminate roller marks and it helps to even out the finish. I'm not really sure what you mean by shadows but when paint is drying it can look uneven or patchy but when dry it should look fine.

[@marcoresendiz1285]

How long does it take for everything to look even? Considering some of the paint looking uneven or patchy? Thanks for the great videos!

I've just finished painting my bedroom ceiling and walls having watched several of your videos and it's definitely the best I've done yet! Room for improvement I'm sure but doing it the right way actually made it easier too. I really don't know why I didn't get an extension pole before now though!

For new plaster board I use an acrylic sealer/undercoat for first coat and two top coats of flat, if you are painting a wet area I would use a low sheen or semi gloss acrylic. For previously painted ceilings generally there is no need to prime or undercoat, just apply two coats of either flat or low sheen.

[@cornpop9262]

Thanks for the lessons. You make that look so easy I'm going to have to try it myself!

[@howtopaintinfo]

In general 120 - 180 grit, if the ceiling is acrylic then you don't need to sand too hard, you only need to sand the bad areas hard either to feather out the edges or to remove ruff bits. If the ceiling was painted in a semi gloss or gloss enamel then you would have to give the complete ceilings a really good sand. Sanding is not just about the grit size, its also about how much pressure you apply when sanding.

[@Avital4414]

How do you remove the sanding dust from the ceiling?

[@DjClarky78]

Thanks - am painting some ceilings at the moment. This covers much better than the strip method I was using before. Good tip about the light source too. I've found starting at the wall with the window on and working back makes it much easier to see how well it's covered. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant tutorial. I would also add that you need to have adequate lighting especially when painting rooms with no windows like bathrooms or if it's dark and cloudy outside, I always use a portable led light shining upwards onto the ceiling, just helps you pick out any snots or roller edges.

Can I use gardz as a primer? Have torn drywall paper so fixing with gardz sealant. Should I only use the gardz on the torn paper. Then mud over those areas, and then use a different primer before I paint? I need help asap, lol. Or should I apply gardz to entire ceiling and use it as a primer on the drywall before painting without primer? I keep seeing skim coat is needed but u just painted bare drywall, proving skim coat is not needed, correct?

[@howtopaintinfo]

Doing a search on Gardz seal it is for moisture issues so I wouldn't use it unless it was a moisture issue. If you have used it on the torn areas that's fine but no need to do complete wall. You could use just a plaster board sealer on the torn areas, light sand when dry, mud over it, sand and prime complete wall. Skim coat is not need on drywall.

When you roll back over a section, you appear to always turn the roller first, is this deliberate to get the best finish or perhaps is this about utilising all the roller's paint?

When priming the ceiling, should you cut in first like you would when painting colour on a wall or cut in after rolling the primer on the ceiling. Also do you paint cornices (brush) first before the ceiling or after and if you brush down onto the wall if priming the whole room, will this be enough for the cutting in for the walls or is it better to go back over so you have a wet edge on the walls also. Just talking primer here. Thanks in advance

[@howtopaintinfo]

With primer it doesn't matter if you cut in first or last, also when you are painting the cornice make sure you brush down far enough so you don't need to go back and cut in the walls later. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

One more thing mate. The ceiling in my bathroom is like a  regular ceiling(not glossy).As a result, over the years, the build up of steam contacting the ceiling has made the ceiling paint bubbly and is near about to start chipping off.Please suggust what I can do to remedy this.

What nap is the roller you use for walls, and ceilings?

[@howtopaintinfo]

Generally about 18 mm nap. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

[@howtopaintinfo]

A bathroom ceiling should be painted with a low sheen or semi gloss paint, I have seen passage ceilings outside a bathroom door that have also peeled, due to steam. All you can do now is scrape off all the loose or bubbled paint, fill over any broken edges and sand, then prime or seal the complete ceiling, then top coat with at least a low sheen paint. Flat paint finishes will break down with constant moisture or steam.

[@rcastor1]

How much dry time to you allow for Acrylic Latex before following up with a second coat?

[@howtopaintinfo]

It depends on the day, most say 2 hrs between coats but in cold weather I have seen paint stay wet all day and during summer it almost drys as quick as your applying it. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

When you lay your painted section off, how do you achieve a wet edge ready for the next section of paint. I always struggle to keep it wet ready for the next section of paint!

[@howtopaintinfo]

Often one of the main things people do wrong is to apply the paint too thin and being thin it dries a lot quicker so try to put a little more paint on and see if that helps. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

[@JesusSaves86AB]

I would have to add sleeve thickness is an often overlooked equation. I never use less than 25mm sleeves for larger ceilings and go with a 30mm for very large or high ceilings since it holds more paint which helps maintain working time and you don't notice the texture difference as much as on a wall. High hide flat paints are also a godsend for extremely large ceilings.

What would u do in this case and is it possible to work around these ? By the way, the landlords would kill me if i actually did it.

What type and size nap do you use for a ceiling? How to avoid splatter?

[@howtopaintinfo]

You can use say 15 to 18 mm nap and splatter can depend on paint thickness and the type of roller sleeve used. I have found that lambs wool sleeve seem to hold the paint without to much splatter. Microfibre rollers are good to for less splatter, hope that helps. Berger ceiling white, solver ceiling white and Dulux professional ceiling white are all good.

Hey, I always wondered... why do people put little white dots between the lines on the ceiling before painting??

[@howtopaintinfo]

I do know when it comes to plaster board that the most important part is to make sure you use glue, nails or screws are only there to hold the plaster board in place until the glue dries. So I thought I would check with a mate that has been hanging plaster board longer then I have been painting and his response was “it’s normal practice to screw or nail the edges and double screw the center as long as you glue it correctly”.

[@Semaj.18272]

See how you done the first half and starts the second half so it ok to roll over the end of those edges before it drys ? But when cutting the brush leaves a thick finsish that why you showing how to roll away from the cutting as you explained

[@howtopaintinfo]

With the cutting in you should blend or feather the edges so this is no thick edge. Yes you need to try to keep a wet edge and that's why there is a method of doing it. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

[@zohanthecat]

I would have to agree. I've only seen wall sheets glued though, as a rule I strap my lids with resilient channel on trusses to allow for truss movement, and between floors for sound transfer. If the sheets in this video were glued to joists or wood strapping I was wrong to call you butchers. if anything you've got more effort into that than i'd put in. Screws are fast.

[@howtopaintinfo]

There are a few possible things you are doing wrong. Firstly you do need to apply enough paint so it stays wet for awhile; I find this is where a lot of people go wrong. Also it will depend on how hot the day is, flat finishes won't show overlap marks like a semi gloss will so you will need to keep a wet edge at all times so it maybe a case of painting the ceiling during the coolest part of the day and keep air flow to a minimum while painting.

[@AlexGFitnessProduction]

very good video

[@mattcameron2396]

Thanks for the information. Looks like a very logical approach and well explained. When do you sugar soap a pre-painted ceiling as opposed to sanding it? Also, are there any instances in which you would do neither and simply wipe the cobwebs away and start painting? I’ve heard advice ranging from, “Make sure you sand the ceilings or the paint won’t stick”, to “Just buy a good quality primer and start painting”. Would appreciate your thoughts. (New subscriber).

[@howtopaintinfo]

With ceiling paint in general you can just paint straight over existing, no primer required. If the ceilings have been painted in a gloss enamel then it will need a good sand and a primer wouldn't hurt. Its the paint that was used previously that will determine what process you will need to do. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

first thing you need to do is check where the main light source and entrance is.. you want to roll in the adjacent direction to the common entrance, this helps to eliminate reflections. also dont stop rolling at the edge of a wall or the paint will gather up, you should roll back again and gradually lift off to feather it off.

[@howtopaintinfo]

It depends, for a flat ceiling yes but for a raked ceiling there is only one way to paint it and that is with the slope. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

[@daltoniks]

roll the ceiling with flat white again, start from the darkest corner always rolling towards the light (eg. window) Do not use low sheen or glossy paints.

[@mackhomie6]

As a last resort, you could take a fine sandpaper to the glossy parts.

[@ryan5ryan]

Not thinking technique. He's going the wrong direction for the dimensions of the ceiling. He wouldn't have to "try and get back to it before it dries" if he was working in the other direction. He could lay it all off as he goes, and he should also lay it all off in the same direction. If you keep those two concepts at the forefront of your ceiling painting you will get a much more even paint job that will also look a lot better in evenness of sheen and make roller marks less noticeable.

[@howtopaintinfo]

w I understand what you are saying but ceilings should always be rolled in the direction of the light source and that's why I'm rolling in this ceiling this way.

This is not the right way to paint a ceiling. Maybe you can get away with it as a first coat but definitely not a top coat. The right way is instead if painting patches you would paint left to right from wall to wall

[@howtopaintinfo]

Wall to wall maybe fine on a small ceiling but it won't work on large ceilings. You will be left with lines where you stop and start. With the technique I have shown, when rolling back in to the dry paint it will blend in.

I note there is not yet any cornice installed. Do you know if it's ok to paint then later install the cornice over the newly painted plasterboard/drywall?

[@howtopaintinfo]

The ceiling in this video is a square set ceiling meaning there is no cornice. You will find square set ceilings in architecturally designed houses as they cost more to do then using a standard cornice. It's best to have the cornice up before you paint as the cornice adhesive will not stick to paint.
