Select Sheen for Ceilings

actually painting I'll start off with just talking about ceilings and what I like and why I like to paint ceilings with flat paints. I typically always use flat paints. It's pretty rare that I use anything on a ceiling other than a flat paint. So, when painting ceilings, there's two methods of painting them. We either roll them or spray them.
