How to paint the ceiling yourself

In order not to overpay, hiring workers to paint ceilings in the apartment, try to do it yourself. First you need to prepare, stock up all the necessary materials, as well as prepare the room before painting – cover the furniture, if it cannot be removed from the room, cover all the surfaces where the paint from the ceiling is undesirable. After all, if the paint falls on the furniture, you will have to use dry cleaning for upholstered furniture. From improvised materials you will need the following: the paint itself, the roller of the right size and a wide painting brush, protection on the eyes and head (glasses and a headdress, preferably with a visor), special workwear, a spatula, a stepladder (or another design that allows you to get to the ceiling , of course, safe).

Before painting, the surface of the ceiling must be subsided and polished by problem areas, and then primed with diluted paint, which you plan to stain. After the preparatory work is completed, the ceiling can already be painted with undamosed paint, this must be done with a roller, a spray gun or brush, or in all tools in turn – as it is convenient for you. You should also know that the color of two or three layers is much stronger than one thick layer applied to the ceiling.
