Affix the roller frame to an extension pole.
If you are planning to paint a ceiling, employ a particular application strategy if it is coated with knockdown texture. Because knockdown-textured ceilings are prone to heavy dripping, you must use care, or you could end up ruining the floor. In addition, because this type of ceiling contains heavy layers of texture, it tends to soak up paint unevenly. Apply the paint a particular way, or you could end up with a streaky-looking finish that appears slightly glossy in some areas and dull in others.
Instructions
1. Remove anything from the room that might interfere with your ability to paint the ceiling.
2. Cover the floor with dropcloths. Cover the tops of baseboards with low-tack blue painter's tape.
3. Fill the 5-gallon bucket with 2 gallons of flat latex paint. Attach the roller frame to an extension pole.
4. Coat the ceiling with a light coat of paint, using the roller and nap roller cover. Apply the paint relatively quickly. Don't worry about coverage. Wait one hour for this thin coat to dry.
5. Coat the knockdown-textured ceiling with two more coats of paint. Wait two hours between each coat of paint.
