Ceiling Painting Questions
Hello:
Have two bathrooms, both of whose ceilings I would like to add a coat of paint to. Am a true novice with this, so may I please ask some really basic questions: Ceiling No. 1 has a textured finish; the typical "swirl" type. Do I want to use a roller or a brush ? If a roller, what type of knap, etc. Really don't know what type to get if this is what you recommend For the edges, and light fixtures that can't be removed, etc., is is correct to use a brush for these areas, even though a roller was used for the rest of the ceiling; will it "blend in" O,K, if I do ? Ceiling No. 2 is smooth. Again, is a roller or a brush best ? BTW: one of them has a small brown water stain. I was thinking of coating it with Kilz first. a. Do I have to sand or gouge out the brown part first ? b. Will a high quality latex go over the Kilz in a single coat such that the Kilz coating will not be apparent ? c. Are there special paints for ceilings, or any high quality interior latex is fine ? Any hints also would be much appreciated. Thank you very much, Bob |
