Summary
PAINTING a ceiling can be a pain in the neck - literally - but it has to be done, and done before you decorate the rest of the room because it's a messy job. Start by clearing the room as much as possible and protecting the floor (unless you're replacing it) and any furniture that remains. Only paint ceilings in good natural light, otherwise you may get a poor finish.
Make sure you wear goggles to protect your eyes and a shower cap for your hair, as well as old clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Using a roller with a long handle makes the job easier - apart from the edges - but it d oes stop you from seeing the bits you've missed and where the roller has left ridges of paint, etc. Standing on a stepladder to paint is more awkward, but enables you to spot - and rectify - any problems as they happen.See the full content of this document
