Paint as well. In a front room the only thing I wanted to paint white was the fireplace (You know that cove that sticks out?).
I bought Wilkinson's own brand of white emulsion because it was cheap and the cove wall was already light anyway, so I thought I'd get away with it.
Stuff was like water, still needed about 5 bloody coats. _
First decorating lesson learned.

"Batteries !
20 for a pound, seen more energy getting static jumping out the car with trackie bottoms on lol  "
Been there, bought 20 for £1 in Poundland...say no more.
When renovating my house I had teams of specialist coming and going giving me quotes. The firm to sand, stain and varnish were measuring up when the decoraters came to price the job. The carpenter was there when the bathroom fitters were there.
The floor guys said they also decorated and offered huge discount if I used them, as did the carpenter. He worked for Homebase fitting kitchens and bathrooms so I used him to do my carpentry, bathroom and kitchen.
I've lived in my house 10 years and only did the house as my daughter was getting married and I was putting family up from abroad and I wanted to make a good impression. £15,000 I paid...with the exception of the floors which are stunning, everything needs redoing. 
Looks good from a distance but standard not good close up. Lesson learnt don't pay cash, don't pay in the dark! |

I know it sounds a bit daft. But I've done loads of house renovations in my time and the best paint to use on ceilings and Walls is exterior masonry paint !!! If it's a ceiling get the White smooth finish paint. One coat is usually enough and it dries back flat without streaks so it all looks even. On Walls I have used sandtex masonary paint, especially good covering dark or blemished Walls and yes, it can be coloured, ( my mate works at a store where they mix paint ).
Hang on......
This is a swinging site.......
why the fuck are we talking about paint?
