Timoschin-123 Aug 2012 19:13Hello everyone,
We are in the middle of interior finishing and are having trouble painting the ceilings. Although I used the most expensive paint from the hardware store, the roller marks are clearly visible on the painted surface. I just repainted the ceiling, applying less pressure, but unfortunately, the result was the same.
What am I doing wrong, and what could be causing this?

There are also rollers designed for varnishes, floor coatings, etc., which do not work well with interior emulsions. If in doubt, ask at the building supply store.

I could have gone crazy because those annoying streaks just wouldn’t disappear. Only when we used a different paint roller did we see a significant improvement.
Expensive does not always mean better. Having the right tools is also crucial. It is also advisable to paint the ceiling under the right lighting conditions. The roller should be suitable for the type of paint, and manufacturers provide detailed information about this. Painting should start from the window side, and an additional light source helps to eliminate shadows. Use a brush for the edges, as a roller is not suitable for this.
I know that feeling too. A lot of effort is put in, but the result is not satisfactory. I think everyone has paid their dues learning this lesson.
In my case, it was the wrong roller. The paint just didn’t cover properly. Once I changed the roller, it worked much better and the finish looked good.

Kurt1985-130 Jun 2015 07:28The color can also be the reason here. Even if it was the most expensive option, it doesn’t mean it is the best.
But the issue can also be related to the technique or the tools used. I always test a small piece first to see how it looks. If it doesn’t look good, then the cause of the problem is investigated.
Only then do I start the actual work. 😉
