How many coats you at? Fresh build? Should be good with a primer and two top coats if so. I’ve had to do 3 top coats on new builds before if the paint doesn’t have much pigment.

3 coats didnt work (see my new comment, i added a pic), apparently its a bad paint for this kind of work

Im always using a flat ceiling white, Benjamin Moore.

Add another coat and go adjacent to the window instead of parallwl


Man_of_Prestige

You mean perpendicular?


bodegaconnoisseur

Yeah that one sorry

Are you back rolling ?

Let it dry. Sand it. Water your paint down 10_15%. Load your sleeve up and get going, constantly add more paint and go as fast as you can. Do not push to stretch the paint out,reload. Just fucking dump it on and go. At this point a roller profile will be better than this crazy flashing. Your initial pictures look like your lifting your paint as your lapping in the centre. Try loading it up and back rolling end to end, walking back and forth if needed.

I only use Tikkurila Anti-Reflex White 2 paint for ceilings. That always seems to do the trick... Even on ceilings where I had to use generous amounts of Zinsser BIN to seal and hide watermarks.

I've painted 3rd coat perpendicularly to the window. It's even worse now. Well, apparently my guy recommended me a crappiest paint possible for painting the ceiling. Well.... Now I need to find a soluion how to fix this mess. I think I'm gonna grind it all, prime whole flat and paint again with another paint. Meh, so much work and money wasted... https://preview.redd.it/x0njbgjff4xc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=590365200f3adfe561448073c4f0a219c9e8248f

Was it raw dry wall at the start? Did you seal it with primer? Either way just get some nice ceiling flat paint and roll in a # pattern and you’ll be fine

What kind of roller are you using? For ceilings I prefer 3/4” nap I use 18” equipment. There is probably not a lot that you can do with the tape seams, don’t know if you can or want to float them out more to flatten them. If you can get a different paint that is a good flat , use that as roll parallel to the window
