Why did the ceiling crack when I painted it? It didn'thave any cracks before I painted it with ceiling paint.

Has anyone one experienced a a cracking in the ceiling plaster as a result of painting? There were absolutely no cracks in the plaster before I began. Now that I finished, I can see several small areas where the plaster is peeling right off. What should I do?Why did the ceiling crack when I painted it? It didn'thave any cracks before I painted it with ceiling paint.
SOME TIMES THIS IS COMMON. 1/ IS IT SHEETROCK WITH A SPRAY TEXTURE ON IT/,2/HOW OLD IT THE ROCK?/3/IS IT THE LATHE TYPE APPLIED (DEPENDING ON THE AGE OF THE HOUSE.? 4/ DID U ROLL ON THE PAINT, OR SPRAY? I HAVE FOUND THAT IF THE CEILING AND DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF TEXTURE ON IT, IT WILL OBSORB MORE PAINT TAN USUAL. WE WILL HAVE TENDENACE TO PUSH HARDER TO APPLY THE PAINT WHICH WILL CAUSE THE SHEETROCK TO MOVE UP AND DOWN TO CAUSE IT TO CRACK AT THE SEAMS. WHEN PAINTING CEILINGS IT IS SUGGESTED TO USE A THICK DAMP ROLLER FOR COVERAGE AND PLAN ON EXTRA PAINT USAGE. SOME SPARKLE WILL TOUCH UP THE CRACKS AND COVER WITH PAINTWhy did the ceiling crack when I painted it? It didn'thave any cracks before I painted it with ceiling paint.
I'm sure the moisture from the paint ,caused the cracks. The ceiling must have had superficial hairline cracks to begin with. If only a small bit of plaster has peeled, you could repair that yourself,with patching plaster. Be sure you use a concrete adheasive.You brush it on before you put the plaster on,and it helps the new plaster stick to the old.If you have a rather big area, have someone do it for you as,it's not that easy to do. Especialy on the cieling.
The ceiling had hairline cracks to begin with.The paints moisture made the cracks visible.You can take sheetrock joint compound and put it in the cracks with your finger
Sometimes just adding a layer of paint will be the one that makes it too much. Or it could have been dirty years ago and someone painted over it so now it is peeling. Or you could have painted then turned your a/c up too cold and created moisture which can cause the peeling. I would use a heat gut and scraper if I were you. But keep in mind that if you do it when it is cold outside, the plaster can crack worse. You'd hear it if it does. Been there, done that.
it sounds to me like a problem that i had. i forget what the original type of paint was called that used to be used on plaster but it cracked when i used latex paint on it. there were quite a few coats of this paint on the ceiling and that is what was coming off, not the plaster. the water in the latex paint soaked into the old paint and it lifted off. i ended up using an oil base primer and then a latex finish coat and it came out fine. go to a paint store, not a box store, and tell them what you did. the old guy behind the counter will know what happened and can tell you how to fix it. in the rooms where the ceiling was in tough shape i put a sand finish ceiling paint on and that hid most of the defects. and lower wattage light bulbs helped, too. tee hee, good luck.
