Roller Marks next to Flat Ceiling Paint? I recently painted my living room. I primered the entire room...
I recently painted my living room. I primered the entire room first. Then I used a flat white paint for the ceiling and a semi-gloss blue for the walls. The walls come out great but the ceiling had roller results all over it. I applied a second coat on the ceiling but am getting duplicate ugly roller grades. Why? Are flat paints less forgiving? Is here something I am missing?
Should I reapply another coat with long straight strokes as dead set against short strokes in tons directions? Help!
Answers: First of all These are call Holidays a painters permanent status for rollor marks, The rule of thumb is that where on earth the sun comes through the window, after paint your ceiling cross ways so if the window is on the south side of the house after roll you paint out east and west and after it starts to dry then dance over it again with freshly your paint roller, this is call hindmost rolling, Do you know the term Boxing your paint? This is where on earth you take adjectives your paint of the same and pour it into a 5 gal. bucket and hindmost into another 5 gal bucket, the buckets are call 5's do this a few times and your paint will be mixed better afterwards what the paint store can do. You could get by lately by putting on another coat of paint but back roll it this time and box your paint first,
I'm sorry for the problems you own had next to this darn ceiling. I personally hold not had this problem within the past. But I enjoy painted many ceiling, and they are not a fun thing to paint. With that said I am afraid to suggest you try another coat. You chose the correct paint finish for the ceiling, since you picked flat. That is what is usually used. Maybe you are using the wrong type of roller. Is your ceiling rough, semi-rough, semi-smooth, or smooth? That is the solitary suggestion I have. Get a brand new roller, that is made for the type of ceiling you hold, and try again. I wish you the best of luck!
