    Hi,
    I'm not too worried about cost, within reason, I just want something that doesn't drip and only requires one coat. I hate painting ceilings but I'm running out of excuses not to get it done!
    Cheers

    The pink stuff (can't remember what brand) is great for making sure of coverage and I don't remember having any issues with dripage.

    I'd recommend ceiling paint – in white.

    Thanks for going easy on the piss taking guys!
    I've tried the pink stuff before, pretty good, but I found it quite drippy.

    Next question: roller or brush?

    Dulux Trade emulsions are as good as it gets in the paint world. The secret to minimizing drips is to use a good roller. I use Purdy 'White Dove' roller sleeves and get very few, if any drips.

    use a brush round the edges and round any light fittings and then use the roller for the rest

    Spooky, because that's exactly the same kind of paint I'd recommend! 😯
