You'll have to forgive my ignorance but I've never painted a ceiling in my life, but having moved into our first owned home I am trying to save money by doing most stuff myself (and learning as I go).
I bought decent draper wallpaper scrapers and have managed to get the ceiling free of even the tiniest bit of old paper. However, I'm now unsure of whether I need to wash it in sugar soap or not. I have one relative telling me I do and another telling me to just paint a layer of 4-1 pva-water mix.
Our intention is to just paint the ceiling so what should I do?
Second question, should I prime it and what with?
Last question, can you recommend a good quality ceiling paint?
