View Full Version : Room with coved ceilings

Does anyone have experience painting a room with coved ceilings? I will be painting this weekend and will be using a lighter color for the ceiling and a slightly darker shade for the walls. I want to make sure that the curved portion of my ceilings get good coverage and found that difficult to do with a roller this past weekend while I was priming. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Paint the coving with a 3" brush ,painting 2" of the ceiling and walls X 2 coats..Roll in the ceiling.The roller should not touch the coving!!
Then cut in the wall colour along coving line,corners.skirting etc and then use roller to finish walls..
