Trade secret # 8 Painting a ceiling

I just added some info about this subject on my site http://www.mercuryminc.net/, that's on page three of trade secrets.
Usually you should ask a professional painter with experience painting ceilings to give you a quote. If your ceiling is textured or not they are not easy to paint.
Most should be painted with a flat latex, although kitchens and bathrooms can be finished in eggshell or even semigloss.
There are some good washable flat latex paints on the market also.
