What would the cost be to paint the walls in a foyer it is 17 x 12 with 18 foot ceiling?
So you have 522 sq. ft. of wall. - That would be adequately covered by 2 gallons of paint. Now all you do is figure out how long it takes you to paint it.
Can you mix white ceiling paint with Ultra pure white to paint a ceiling?
Yes, as long as they are both the same base, you can mix many paints.
Is it ok to paint the walls the same color as the ceiling if youhave low ceilings?
If it is a light color I would think it would look OK, but it will make your room look smaller. How about one wall in a dark color and a contrasting color on the walls. Make a stencil and put clouds on the ceiling. I did this in my kitchen.
How do you paint a ceiling?
I've been a painting contractor for 32 years. Here's how you do it: you're going to need two coats of paint at least. For the first coat, roll your paint parallel to the ceiling to within a couple of inches of the ceiling, then using an angle cut brush of 2 to 2 1/2 inches in width (spend some money and get a good brush; don't use a piece of crap) paint up to within 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the ceiling. I like moving from right to left and painting from left to right into the paint(always paint into the paint you've brushed on the wall, not away from it). When you come back to do your second coat it will be easier to cut a line right at the ceiling because your brush slips more smoothly over the fresh first coat. The difference in color between the wall and the ceiling will make it easier for your eye to tell your hand where to go with the paint. Unless there is a perfectly sharp corner at the ceiling your line will be either on the wall or on the ceiling. In general, it's better to get it more on the ceiling than on the wall, because otherwise, assuming the ceiling is lighter, the line of your new paint will look more uneven from a distance.
Can you use floor paint on wooden porch ceiling?
You probably can. As long as the masonry paint is 100% acrylic, you will have no problem at all using it on a wooden porch ceiling. Using a cheaper vinyl paint is not suggested on wood though as it will craze and crack over time.

How many can of paint need to paint 12ftlong 12ftwidth 10fthight room. 1lt can covered a 120 sq.ft?
The room consists of four walls, each 12ft long by 10ft high for a total of 4(120ft2). So if a can covers 120ft2, it takes 4 cans. If the ceiling is to be painted it requires enough more paint to cover 144ft2 or another 1.2 cans. If the floor is also to be painted, then another 1.2 cans. The entire room, walls, floor and ceiling can be painted with 6.4 cans; better buy 7.

Can you paint your walls with ceiling paint?
Answer: Normally no. The Ceiling should be painted a lighter coler to add openness to the room.Usually ceiling white or about three shades lighter on the color chart (or more). This makes a room feel more open and not so closed in. Hope this helps.

How do you paint a ceiling without seeing the strokes when dry?
Ensure that you are putting enough paint on the surface, then roll or spray the ceiling all in one direction. Always work to the wet paint edge and do not stop long enough for the paint to dry. If you are spraying, do two coats, one in the direction of the length, and the other in the direction of the width. If you are rolling and trying to avoid a second coat, make sure you are putting enough paint on the ceiling and then wait 24 hours. If you see marks after 24 hours, put on a second coat in the other direction, ie if you applied the first coat the length of the ceiling, apply the second coat in the direction of the width. Again, be sure to work into the wet edge so do not stop long enough to allow the paint to dry to the touch. Once you've finished the second coat, allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before judging the coverage. Another trick is to use a 100% acrylic stain kill primer instead of ceiling paint. It will cost about twice as much but it is as close as you can come to a guaranteed one coat ceiling paint. Since the ceiling is not subject to wear and tear, there is no need to top coat with a paint.
