DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

With the right tools and a little preparation, a ceiling can be painted without difficulty.
Step 7: Paint the rest of the ceiling.
Use a 3/8" or 1/2" roller to paint the rest of the ceiling. Consider using a special ceiling roller, which has a hood that protects against splatter and drippage. Start painting in the corner farthest from the door, using an extension handle if the ceiling is very high. Make a "W" about three feet in size with the roller and fill in the area. Work slowly to avoid time-consuming clean-up. If necessary, apply a second coat when the first one dries for an even finish. Enjoy your newly-painted ceiling.
Finish painting the ceiling with a ceiling roller.
