Sanding:
Sanding is one of the most important steps as it helps improve the flatness of the wall surface and ensures that the paint will adhere to the surface properly.
After sanding, remember to remove any residue or dust with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
We provide sandpaper on our website.
Cleaning:
Before painting the ceiling, make sure to clean the surface thoroughly and remove any sanding residue or dust the ceiling gathered over time.
How to clean the ceiling?
You don't need specific tools to clean the ceiling as a dry cloth will do the trick.
Applying Primer:
After sanding the surface, we proceed to the step of applying the primer.
After making sure the ceiling is clean, you should apply the first coat of primer with a roller. The primer helps to cover the previous old paint coat and hides any difficult-to-remove stains or even water spots.
The best way to paint the ceiling is by moving the paint roller in the same direction of sunlight.
You can purchase Green Prime from our website.
Painting:
To achieve the best paint finish, you should paint the ceiling in steps:
First:
Use masking tape on the edges of the ceiling to protect the wall, and make sure to cover the entire floor and furniture with a drop cloth.
Second:
Start by painting the edges with a brush for easy control as recommended by paint professionals.
Third:
Use a roller to paint the entire ceiling. Divide the ceiling into small sections to make it easier for you to work on. Start painting in lines. As a basic rule, try to keep the end of lines always wet, which means that when moving from the first line to the second line, you should start painting from the center of the first line, not its end, to get a consistent, smooth finish.
Choosing the final coat of paint:
There are several important points that you need to consider before choosing the appropriate final coat of paint, including being odorless, washable, and available in the color you want. All these properties are very important in choosing the paint that will give you satisfactory results. We provide a wide range of high-quality paints on our website such as:
Novel Paint.
Green Paint.
How to apply the final coat of paint?
There is no difference between applying the primer and the final coat of paint as you can follow the same steps, taking into account the number of coats that you should apply according to your product’s specification.
What is the appropriate color for the ceiling?
Many people avoid painting the ceiling in colors and often choose white shades. However, changing the color of the ceiling can be a great idea. You may want to choose a dark color to add a beautiful touch to big rooms. If the room is small, light colors will give a bigger and more attractive appearance.
Should I use a certain roller to paint the ceiling?
It depends on the final result you want to get. If you want to give the wall a decorative touch, you can use this roller, while you can use this roller for a smooth finish.
