Can you paint the ceiling with gloss paint?

Yes but why would you want to?Can you paint the ceiling with gloss paint?
Well yes you could paint it with gloss paint but it is cheaper and easier to use emulsion.Can you paint the ceiling with gloss paint?
Gloss paint won't look as bright as matt or silk, because it doesn't diffuse the light in all directions. It may look quite grey (but shiny).
Emulsion yes.
Yes you can, go to this page for which paint to use.

No fear mate, when i look up everything gets to look funny and I could fall over, just like looking over the edge of a cliff at heights. Anyway who wants paint in their eyes?
You can paint ceilings with gloss but you will need to be sure you have excellent ventilation as the surface painted with gloss is sealed and will not breath as emulsions do this can cause moulds to form and all sorts of difficulties later on.
No, you use emulsion on ceilings. Gloss is oil based and it will be harder to repaint over gloss with emulsion next time you need to paint it. Try a silk emulsion if you want a ';sheen'; to your ceiling.
Certainly. And it is a very good idea for the ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens because that makes them easier to clean.

Yes, and it will be much easier to clean when the time comes than flat paint.
Depends on the composition of the ceiling.Many are plasterboard,which won't cover well with gloss paint,being very absorbent.
You can, but why? Unless you are working in an industrial kitchen and you want to hard wash the ceiling every few months?





The intended purpose of gloss is a hard finish coat for wood and metal able to withstand the elements and other punishment. Gloss will be much harder to apply and get a good finish on a ceiling than emulsion. If you want an easy paint that can be wiped on a ceiling try Dulux quick-drying eggshell. If you have no special reason for a hard wearing paint, a ceiling is the ideal place to put cheaper standard emulsion as it takes no punishement.
you can use what paint you like,most people use emulsion vynyl silk looks neat
