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
James

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.

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! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
