Anyone have any opinions/suggestions on ceiling paint before I run out and buy whatever looks good at the local ACE?
Have a couple of small bathrooms to do in the short term, then a good-sized living room. |

If you have a home depot by you the Baer brand paint is good for cutting and rolling.
The stuff at ace is really good paint but damn expensive. |

Have a couple of small bathrooms to do in the short term, then a good-sized living room. I use Behr Ultra ceiling quite a bit. The Premium Plus is okay if you already have it white primed really well. The Marquee in white won't be worth in my opinion as far cost unless you're coloring the paint and not just ceiling white; then it's worth it. Benjamin Moore Ace paint is over primed for most of their stuff. Gonna miss Kelley Moore paints for sure. |

Paint it blue so you feel like you're shitting outside.
J/K, Something made for the high humidity if the are small bathrooms with a shower. |

My wife is all about colored ceilings in other rooms - not even going to mention it for the bath. Thanks for the suggestions all. Figure to have the anti-mildew additive mixed in while I'm at it. |

I just painted all of my ceilings, 1850 sq ft.
Used Sherwin Williams flat white ceiling paint. Trimmed with 4” long 1” diameter roller and trim brush. Then hit the big rooms with 18” roller. 12” in bedrooms. Big fan of white ceilings as opposed to color matched to walls. Especially if you have lower, 8’ walls. Good luck. |

If you are trying to match existing ceiling color, I've found white looks different from different brands.

Home Depot sells a Behr brand ceiling paint that I have used in two houses in the last year and I think it looks good.
I agree a white ceiling is the only way to go. Makes the rooms feel bigger and also makes them feel lighter. |

Ceiling paint is the only cheap paint I'll use...for ceilings.
Walls and trim is a different topic. But typically ill get a name brand sherwin williams or Ben Moore flat ceiling paint because of discounts, but I dont get anything special unless I'm doing a special ceiling project. |

They have like 6 levels of Behr paint now but Ultra is the best value. The iSeries is shit & Marquee (or whatever) & up are almost like painting with mayonnaise. |
