With the right tools and a little preparation, a ceiling can be painted without difficulty.
Step 1: Prepare the room. To prepare a room for a ceiling paint job, first empty the room of furniture and other items. Big pieces that are difficult to move should be brought closer to the middle of the room and covered in drop cloth. Be sure to cover the floors with drop cloth as well. Cover the floors and furniture with drop cloths.
Wear non-slip shoes when using a ladder, and make sure the ladder is resting on a flat, non-slip surface. Wear goggles and protective clothing when painting overhead.
