Those roller marks are why you are supposed to use flat paint on ceilings. Not any help really, but you'll be hard pressed to eliminate them completely.

I think ceilings look better sprayed out. If that is not an option try a thicker nap on your roller as a posible fix. Not sure why you would have roller marks with that many coats? It can be either- cheap paint or a cheap roller.
PM bugeater and see if he agrees- he might have some better suggestions- he knows his trade. |

Rent a sprayer and spray the ceilings. Your issue is the finish on the ceiling. You'll see everything. Using a fine finish sprayer would be good

Plus before you painted you should of used a high build self leveling primer to help conceal flaws in the ceiling

I've painted like 15 hotel rooms and I never had the roller marks. Just don't paint parallel to the last stroke like how you would mowing a lawn keeping parallel to the lines. Paint in an "X" formation and don't press hard.

I also wouldn't do gloss enamel on the ceiling. I'd use flat paint on the ceiling to hide flaws and sherwin Williams duration home matte finaih paint it's awesome

The thing I like about duration home on the walls is its a flat/matte finish but also washable so it won't show flaws. Also when your painting walls do color samples on poster board not the walls. The walls will flash so to speak when you roll them. Meaning you'll see where you put the sample on the wall if you paint the sample on the wall

How do you paint in an "X" and still cover the whole area?
