What happens here

Begin the painting process by 'cutting in' around all ceiling light fixtures and other items hanging from the ceiling. Use a paint brush to carefully apply the purple ceiling paint around these areas. Once the fixtures are cut in, proceed to cut in along the perimeter of the ceiling where it meets the walls. The painter mentions that it's acceptable if some ceiling paint gets onto the walls, as the walls will be painted subsequently. Aim to extend the cut-in paint approximately the width of a 4-inch nap roller.

Goal: Neatly paint around ceiling fixtures and along the ceiling-to-wall edges.

Tools and materials

  • Ceiling Paint — The primary paint for the ceiling

I'm going to just hand cut in around this light. Let's show you work around this light here. Just got this light just about cut in and I'm going to start working on the cutings around the edges of the ceilings next. This I don't have to worry about getting it down on the walls cuz I'm going to be painting my walls. So can quickly just run my brush along the edges
