I'm having a nightmare painting my ceiling.
I did 3 coats of Dulux trade vinyl Matt which was HORRIBLE paint. So thick it's ridiculous which I think has left me with a bad start.
I've since done another 2 coats of some Valspar paint I borrowed from the in-laws who are also decorating. No bad, bit thin and not very white, so i went and got some Leyland Trade Vinyl Matt which is a decent thickness and coverage.
The problem I have though is no matter the direction i roll, I always have patches and lap lines.
I have no issues with walls, even when using a silk paint, but I cannot for the life of me get this ceiling to an acceptable standard.
Anyone got any tips or suggestions before o lose the plot. 7th coat tomorrow, it's getting a bit silly...
