Use a 3/8-inch roller: “Any more texture than a basic half-inch is a no-go,” Walker says. To prevent drips, Walker suggests slightly rotating the roller from the handle as you bring it up to the ceiling. What’s more, you’ll constantly have to watch for spray and drips that likely speckle clothes and anything left uncovered below. Get ready for a workout: Working on the ceiling is challenging because applying pressure to a surface overhead is not normal activity for your arms. Paints with a sheen, like semigloss, are more likely to show touch-ups, so you may have to repaint the whole ceiling for an even look. A flat finish works for a standard job with minor imperfections, Walker says. Know your finish: Flat finishes just “stay there,” while glossier ones refract the light back into a room. If you spackle and sand, wipe the residue. “Eventually, the paint will separate, creating more work.” Use a clean broom to brush off any dust-don’t neglect the spider web–prone corners. “Debris inhibits the proper bond between paint and the surface area,” Walker notes. Clean the ceiling: Even a little dust can be detrimental. 
“Because a color discrepancy highlights imperfections, it could make a new paint job look years old,” Walker says.

Skimping on spackle is sabotage-the original paint color can show up later as the crack grows. Tackle the cracks: This step is crucial if you’re painting light to dark.But stains from previous leaks must be primed with a stain-blocking primer otherwise they will most certainly seep through, leaving ugly blotches. Look for stains: If you’re painting white over white on a ceiling that’s in great shape-no cracks or stains-then you can paint over the surface.If you’re going dark, skip the finicky trim altogether. You’ll likely need two coats of primer, followed by two coats of paint.
“Going from a darker to lighter color may require four coats altogether,” says Jay Walker, a New York City–based TaskRabbit tasker who has painted more than three dozen apartments this past year.
