There are a few tricks to getting a smooth, consistent coat of paint on the ceiling. First, work in sections about 5 or 6 ft. square. Move quickly from one section to the next to make sure the paint along the edge doesn't dry before you roll the adjoining section. This is called “keeping a wet edge” and is the key to avoiding lap marks. You'll get the best coverage by immediately rerolling each section at a right angle to your first roller direction as you go.

You want to roll in the direction of the most light. Any overlaps will essentially become shadows when you roll in the wrong direction. Unless you are a pro, flat paint is your best bet for paint finish. It’s like a concealer for mistakes and will give you the best outcome for a beginner. I used @behrpaint scuff defense Do not dry roll. Dry rolling is when you are not using enough paint or you re-roll over an area that’s somewhat dry.
