You Wanted to Know!
Can I paint my ceiling without making a horrible mess?
Yes you can! The first step is to cover all of your floors with a drop cloth of polyethylene or, better yet, with a fabric coated or waterproof drop sheet - wall to wall. Next, you will need to tape off your walls. Start by taping the top with a strip of 50mm (2”) EdgeWise painting tape placed exactly against the ceiling. Then take a lightweight poly that is wide enough to go all the way to the floor and adhere it to the tape already in place using another strip of 50mm (2”) EdgeWise tape. Dynamic’s lightweight boxed poly is perfect for this situation!
   
Why is my roller not painting evenly?

This is usually due to over loading the roller, which, in turn, causes improper leveling of the paint on your surface. Once your roller has been saturated in the well of your paint tray, roll it up and down repeatedly on the grid portion of the tray to ensure any part of the roller that was over or under loaded will be evened out. The first roll onto the wall should be in the shape of an "X" - then roll out the "X" until you need to reload. If you simply start out on the left and work to your right until you run out, the first pass will always release the most paint, giving you uneven results.
