Best way to paint a ceiling and minimize dripping?

in a hurry and dont have drop cloth, gotta do it todayBest way to paint a ceiling and minimize dripping?
Buy a good name brand paint and remove any excess paint from the roller, before you apply it to the ceiling. I still think you should go to a dollar store an pick up a drop cloth. You know what ';they'; say about an ounce of prevention.Best way to paint a ceiling and minimize dripping?
Use a roller sleeve with 3/8';. It will minimize the amount of painting being splattered as you are rolling. That along with the newspapers should do the job. If you can sacrifice a bed sheet it will also help but you will still need to use paper under it. DO NOT use plastic.
BUY expensive paint, it doesnt drip like cheaper stuff,,,trust me Ive painted dozens of ceilings
Use newspaper on the floor, it will keep the smaller drips up at least. And don't overload the roller with paint, roll it several times on the ';ramp'; of the pan to get off the excess. Trying to roll the paint on very fast will cause ';spray'; so roll with slow deliberate strokes.


Good luck.
