Home and Auto Painting ceilings. Need some help/advise

**BigRedChief** · 05-14-2013, 03:05 PM

Remodeling the new home. Had popcorn ceilings throughout the house. We have had the popcorn ceilings taken out by professionals.

The pros put a thin layer of drywall mud on the ceiling. We have put two coats of primer on the ceiling. My wife wants to use latex high gloss enamel paint on the ceilings. We have done two coats.

The problem is that we can see the rolling of the paint marks on the ceiling.

Question for the Planet.............

What do I need to use or do to not have the rolling marks? Surely two coats of primer and two coats of paint should get the job done? What say you? Rep with my big rep stick for helpful tips advise.

On a side note this is my room to do with what I want. The doors lead to the backyard with a pool, jacuzzi, the waterfront of the ocean and the boat dock. The wife suggested astroturf on the floor with a football field painted on it. Paint it red put up my Chiefs "stuff". Seems "routine" to me. Any unique ideas would be appreciated and hit with my big rep stick.
