Today, we’re going to give you five tips to paint ceilings like a professional did it, and do them fast.
We’re going to be rolling these ceilings with an 18 inch roller. You can either spray them with an airless sprayer or roll them. Just for reasons, here on this situation, we’re going to be rolling them today. They’re going to removing the carpets. I don’t need to put any drop cloths down. But stay tuned for this video to see how we roll these ceilings and make them look like a professional did it. Here we go.
So the first step in rolling these ceilings really fast, we’re going to be using an 18 inch roller. You have the option of using an 18 inch or a 9 inch. Don’t want to be looking up at these ceilings for very long, so we’re going to be rolling them with an 18 inch roller. This is a contractor white woven roller, and we like to roll our ceilings with a 3/8 inch roller. So this is all about speed, get it done fast. I got my pans over here. I’m using a 5 gallon pan with this 18 inch roller. If you could show me that. Bring that pan there, John. Show them what this pan looks like. This is a really large pan. You definitely want to have a big pan that’s going to hold a lot of paint, so this is a 5 gallon pan, 18 inch roller, tip number one for speed.
Tip number two in rolling these ceilings really fast, we want to get the edges done the very first thing, because we want to be able to roll our walls, and go up the wall and do our cut in so that’s going to dry first. We’re using a special roller that the roller rolls over the edges right here, and you’re got the lint or the fuzz on the edge of the roller. So somebody’s running around with this 9 inch roller and doing all the edges first, and it goes really fast with this type of roller. So check this out. We’re going to show you what this looks like. See that up there with the sign. In rolling these edges up here, here’s a roller all loaded up. It’s got the nap or lint all the way wrapped around the edges, and it makes it really simple doing these edges. You can see up here, we’ve already rolled it, and it gets right in those edges nice and easy, and fills it all in quick and fast, just like that. This thing is awesome. It’s a new roller that a guy just created here recently. We got sent a whole box of them, and so they work great. So this is on thing that’s going to save you a lot of time. Tip number three is using the proper product. We like to use a dead, flat paint when it comes to painting ceilings. It hides imperfections a lot better, it doesn’t show light glare, and then it doesn’t show the flashing or roller lap marks like a satin or semigloss, or even an eggshell paint does. So definitely use a flat paint wherever you can. There are situations where you probably shouldn’t use a flat paint, like in a bathroom or a kitchen. But 99% of the time, we’re going to be using a flat paint, and it’s just going to make your ceilings look a lot better. There’s a lot of products out there that you can use that are really good. Tip number four is rolling your ceilings, laying them out and rolling in the proper direction. So check this out. I’ve got John here, and he’s rolling the ceiling right here with our 18 inch and there’s certain things you want to take into consideration when you roll your ceiling so that it looks like a professional did it. One is the direction you roll the pain, and then how you actually lay it out. So John, we’re going rolling here, and then we’re going to ask him to talk about it just a little bit. So like this ceiling, I’ll split into three chunks. I’ll do one chunk that’s about 4 feet by 4 feet, and then another one, and then another one. And then what I’ve always done with each section, I roll that square out all going the same direction, and then pick my nap up and go the same direction. Because you want that stippling to all be going the same way so that you don’t cast different looking shadows one way or the other. Cool. So this is the entrance to this room right here. I’m standing at the door entrance. We’ve got windows right here that are going to be casting in natural light, and the door behind me is a glass door, and this is where people enter in. And so you can see we’re rolling the direction is going crossways instead of lengthwise. So we chose that direction because of the natural lighting. We’ll walk into this other room here, and we’ll show you another scenario. So Tip number five to paint your ceilings and making it look like a professional did it, we like to paint the vents and any type of lights, so they match the ceilings. A lot of times the vents, lights, and any type of fixtures that are mounted into the ceilings, they yellow over time and look kind of old and dingy. And even if they’re brand new, it looks a lot better if they match and blend in with the ceiling. So what we do typically they’re metal and they’re high gloss. We’ll take a bond can of primer, and we use like an extreme bonding primer, and we’ll spray those things before we roll the ceilings with a spray can of bonding primer. So run around, spray those with a bonding primer, and then we take a handheld airless sprayer, and we’ll go around and spray them with our flat wall paint that we’d be rolling on.
