Thanks for the tips and pointers.  I like the fact that I can use a smaller roller and a 21/2 inch cut in brush.  The tip about Lowes and Home Depot was awesome and the cashback.  Some people are in it for the buck, thanks for the savings ideas.  Oh, and I like the curious cat....

I found the best way to paint a ceiling is to get someone to paint it for you.

Nice job sir, thank you for your time

I think the best way is to pay someone to do it for you. If you can't afford to do that, Benjamin Moore ultra flat ceiling paint is extremely forgiving provided you try to do it right. I also suggest covering everything in plastic. To include your own head. Because it will go everywhere. My glasses had tiny little spatters on them so eye protection is probably essential.

It is a problem if you hit the wall with the edge of the roller because you’ll leave swirl marks on the wall that if they dry you’ll need to sand off before painting the walls

[jumperstartful]

what keeps that roller from throwing splatter?

[mikeparker]

If you "come down onto the walls, you'll paint that later.." - you may lay a lot of white on to (what should be) dark walls. You might add the need to cut in more after you paint the WALLS. Just try to cut your ceiling properly, it will cause less grief later.

Using a quality roller cover and good paint helps. But you may still have some spattering

I've learned that a good pattern for large ceilings that must be rolled is that you pick the wall furthest from the light source usually a window and you stagger blocks rolling in in the direction of the light. Create a "jigsaw" or "step" pattern. 1 meter by 2 meters long, next to a 1 meter by 1 meter, then 1 meter by 2 meters long, then one meter square to create "steps." Once your first stagger has been set up, then you proceed across doing 1 metre square blocks until you've reached the end. This allows to cover measuredly, and any necessary overlap is always on fresh wet paint so that it has time to even out.

Also, the larger the brush the better. I don't like using 18 inch brushes with deep matting, but I do because it goes on thick and wide. 1 metre square is about 3-4 x 18" roller strokes. The problem with thick-matted rollers is that they spit.

what if you arent painting walls. only ceiling, cuttin in first and then start rolling but then the cutting in starts drying.

[luigisorrentino]

4inch brush to cut in. And a 18inch roller. That's how you paint a large ceiling!!!!

[robdameron]

you'll be there all damn day!!! PUT THE PAINT ON THE WALL A RUUUUN WITH IT!!! SLAP IT ON AND THEN BACKROLL 8' OUT, DONE, NEXT!!

plastic bag over the ceiling light to protect it from any over spray from your roller

[rorybellows]

No need on that brush work on the ceiling. Just use a broken in roller cover and you can sve yourself time and effort. The roller can do the same work as the brush.Just double check the coverage, but you will need to use brush for the corners.
