You will need:<\/p>\n
First move any furniture out of the room and cover any remaining furniture or alternatively cover the floor and furniture with dustsheets. Make sure you can reach the entire ceiling without over reaching, as this is unsafe. Next open your tin of paint and stir well, tip a small amount into the paint kettle, then fill the paint tray.<\/p>\n
Now cut in (i.e. paint around the edge) using the brush and kettle, cut in around the ceiling including any light fittings. If you have coving, paint this with the brush also.<\/p>\n
Once you have cut in, take your roller and get some paint onto it, roll it on the tray to work the paint into the roller sleeve and get it all around the sleeve.<\/p>\n
Now take the roller and roll it over the ceiling, I find it best to work away from a natural light source such as a window<\/p>\n
Work in small area\u2019s in front, behind and either side of you, then top the roller up and move to the next area.<\/p>\n
When you second coat the ceiling it maybe an idea to work at adjacent angle to avoid any missed area\u2019s, this will also ensure you don\u2019t end up with lines and also will give a nice even coat across the ceiling.<\/p>\n
When you second coat the ceiling, cut in as before but this time don\u2019t brush the coving, use a fairly dry roller to go over the coving, this will give a nicer finish. In my opinion anyway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
