Episode 250: Painting the Ceiling Like the Pros, Garage Heaters, Zombie-Defying Paint Kits
SEGMENT 1: Painting the Ceiling Like the Pros
Kevin Hermann from Benjamin Moore sits down with us to talk about how the pros paint ceilings!
- Use a ceiling paint -- not just a flat wall paint!
- Brush Cut the ENTIRE ceiling in first
- Keep a wet edge when rolling and work across the ceiling in 4' x 4' squares
- When you apply your second coat, roll the paint in the other direction (if you go East-West for the first coat, go North-South for the second)
- Don't overapply your paint

Some products to consider:
- RepcoLite's Elements Ceiling Paint
- Benjamin Moore's Super Hide Zero
- Benjamin Moore's Premium Ceiling Paint (great when you are painting with a color on your ceiling).
