How do I Correct paint on white ceiling?
Question:I GOT PAINT ON THE EDGE OF THE CEILINGS. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE EVEN LINES. WHAT DO I DO?
CEILING PAINT IS WHITE AND THE OTHER PAINTS ARE NUETRAL COLORS.
Answers:
use a primer to make sure the color doesn't bleed through then repaint using painter's tape or an edger. if you can't match the ceiling color exactly you may have to paint over the whole thing
Get the white paint and a much smaller brush and go over the mistakes carefully.
Take a 5 in one.. (Painters tool" and score the ceiling line..where the wall meets the ceiling. Press with light force so u make a small indentation...the paint will spill into the small score u made and will never touch the ceiling. That's how u get a perfect cut line.
Far as the paint on your ceiling..Hope u still have some white ceiling paint left so u can touch it up!!
Get some ceiling white and a brush, and repaint the edges of the ceiling. A couple of coats should work just fine.
If you just have to make a few corrections at spot locations, I usually take a spackle tool and hold it in the corner at the spot and then touch up the celing with a brush without worrying about getting paint on the wall.
Hope that helps.
try using a white paint pen. You can find them in the arts and crafts department in stores.
when painting, carry a wet rag and a putty knife in your back pocket, wrap the rag around the blade of the putty knife and wipe off the area where you get paint and don't want it.
Get tape. Not the blue painters tape. High adhesion masking tape. Inch and a half or greater. Tape a nice line just below where wall meets ceiling. Buy a tube of caulking. Caulk the tape line. Just enough to seal the tape. Rub in with finger. Keep a wet rag with you. Get your ceiling paint and paint the edges. You will have sharp, perfect lines. Take the time to do this anytime you are meeting two different colors. Results are worth the extra time.
