So i'm in the process of painting the walls and ceiling of the living room.
When i'm painting the ceiling, there's a very fine mist of paint that splats the nearby walls, sometimes bigger droplets. Right now it doesn't really matter because it'll all get covered the same.
However eventually, the ceiling will be ready for a white top coat & the walls would be ready for a coloured top coat. That's the plan anyway, providing these walls aren't a nightmare.
So when painting the walls with the coloured top coat, it'll surely end up spraying off a fine mist ... and on to the white ceiling.
Any tips on avoiding this problem?
I know the obvious will be don't put masses of paint on your roller but in my opinion i don't. Plus i roll it out quite slowly to avoid splatter as i was finding when i was rolling it quite quickly it was splatting more.
