DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

With the right tools and a little preparation, a ceiling can be painted without difficulty.
Step 3: Repair any damaged ceiling spots.
Damage caused by leaks should be repaired before painting. Be sure to first address the cause of the leak or the newly painted ceiling will degrade as well. In the damaged area, use a sharp paint scraper to scrape away loose paint. Now sand the damaged area with medium grain sandpaper. If you don't have a sanding block, a block of wood or some other flat surface will do.
Sand the damaged area with medium grain sandpaper.
