    Should I sand the ceiling before painting?

    I took these pictures last night. You can see patches flashing everywhere because it dried so quickly that I couldn't even lay the paint on. But I don't understand why it's so absorbant.. it was grey plaster, it is an old building.

    Should I sand the ceiling before painting?

    It can also be the way I apply it, I don't know. Now I am also confused in what direction should I apply the last coat, parallel with the windows or perpendicular, probably is important.

    Should I sand the ceiling before painting?

    I should have used Dulux from the first time but I was scared reading all the reviews on the websites. Yes, it was primed with a mist coat and after I put 2 coats of Armstead contract matt but it wasn't what I wanted and then I tried Crown. The ceiling is sucking so quickly the paint. Now I...

    Should I sand the ceiling before painting?

    Hi, After trying so many brands, I still didn't find the right paint for the ceiling. A friend recommended me to try Tikurilla Anti Reflex White 2 for my ceiling in the living room. I have a bay window and is coming in a lot of light. I painted last time with Crown Vinyl matt brilliant white...

    NEW PRIMED DOORS AND SKIRTING BOARD

    Thank you so much! Yes, it is not a light sand. I have patches where I had the screw holes because the primer came off. I will put primer on those first and after a coat of primer all over.

    NEW PRIMED DOORS AND SKIRTING BOARD

    Hi! I would like to ask what is the process in painting the doors and the skirting board? They are already primed. I had to fill the skirting board where the screws were and in other few places with wood filler. Now I tried to sand it down with 180 sanding paper but the primer...

    Johnstone's covaplus vinyl matt brilliant white is actually not white at all

    CBW this is the plan. Nobody has this paint in stock where I live and I found this at a garden centre. I bought the last 3, went home and tried it. I was so disappointed because the ceiling in the living room is huge and I didn't want roller marks using Crown.

    Johnstone's covaplus vinyl matt brilliant white is actually not white at all

    I did and I finally finished with Crown. I just put the first coat in the bedroom but it left few marks of roller and that's why I was looking for something else that is better than Crown. But I put a bit of water, close all the windows and the door and this way I kept a wet edge. The ceiling...

    Hi everybody, I tried to paint the ceiling with Johnstone's Covaplus Vinyl Matt, brilliant white but it looks more cream to me. This can't be brilliant white.

    Vinyl matt paint

    No actually. I bought Crown vinyl matt and it's a very beautiful flat white. I am very happy with it.
