You don't need cement to paint on ceilings. I would paint the ceiling white and than take the blue painter tape and mask off zebra stripes on the ceiling and paint it black. It depends on the size of the ceiling but will take about one day.Any ideas on how to paint my ceiling zebra print?
Hi I have done lot of oil painting. And am sure you must have done some technique of this sort in some painting of yours.





Since you want to pant your ceiling you would not only need wall paints but some extra cement.





Try to make your paint thick with help of cement. Take thicken paint on a iron sheet which can work as a knife. Swing your free hand in direction of making zebra print length wise That should be your first coat.





Second coat will be on the same painted area but width wise. Take maximum cemented paint on iron sheet and give a fine stroke and leave the extra paint at the edge of the width finishing line.





Do the same step throughout the length of your zebra print.





And so on and so forth for the whole ceiling. It is quite painful but it should come out nice.





Leave the ceiling to dry on its own for couple of says. Since the edges will take longer time to dry as it would have thick cemented paint hanging.





After few days you can check by touching bare hand whether the edges of all the zebra line are dry or not.





This effect will be more prominent than a flat print.





You can try and see on a canvas before you actually head out to do it in large scale.





All the best.
