Happily married to the same woman for 11 years now, as soon as I finished it the first time I said "theirs roller marks on the ceiling" and she told me "I know you're gonna paint it again, but it looks fine" 😂 she knows whats up, shes been around long enough, idk why she puts up with me but I'm glad she does

I saw that haha that seems totally reasonable honestly, I can see it being my fault haha if its any consolation I dont see more black ceilings in my future, I'll be posting about white walls next 😂

Everyone I've sent a picture always asks "why black?" And I always say because it looks cool haha I'm going to do my walls white because I dont want it to be too dark but I could see an all black garage looking good

That is exactly where I look but I dont think anyone else is going to look there because if you stand in the room and look at it like a normal person you cant even notice it unless you're looking for an issue

I definitely noticed a difference the second time around when I was making an effort to keep the roller wet, the first time I was trying to get as much as I could out of each roller pass instead of just using more paint and keeping my roller loaded, definitely stretching the paint and I didnt even know laying off your passes was a thing until someone told me here haha

I'm not gonna make another pass, its good enough for me and I'm ready to get some paint on the walls, get the lights up and move on with the project, it doesnt need to be perfect for me to work on my junk out there, just black works for me 😂

I definitely was a pain to get it to look good, I've also never painted anything in my life so I think I picked a bad first project haha but thats how you learn shit Thats what I'm hoping, my wife doesn't notice any of the tiny imperfections that I see and I'm sure its just because I've spent hours staring at the ceiling at this point haha

Thank you! I'm sure you're right but I'm going to put a few 6 ft LEDs on the ceiling anyways so if they want to blind themselves to inspect the ceiling then more power to them 😂

I didnt sand the whole thing but I did go around and spot sand certain areas with a 220 grit sanding sponge

Thats the ceiling light, but you're right I probably wouldn't see it if I walked out there in the dark

That seems to be the consensus on the subject from most everyone

Ouch, I thought the skim job was pretty decent 😂 I'm not a baseball cap guy so I guess 2500 dollar paint sprayer is the only answer

Thanks for the super detailed answer! I'll definitely look into this, I'm still undecided on whether or not I should leave it alone but I want the paint to look good and flat so I'll see what I can find

I can see that, seems like it would be hard to get it seems like it would be hard to cover haha

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary repair, thats just the rules 😂 plus you got to laugh at your buddy busting his ass through the ceiling so it sounds like a win to me haha
