Paint on ceiling wont stay on?

The plaster on the ceiling is very chalky and the new paint just keeps peeling off as soon as it dries.. what can we do?Paint on ceiling wont stay on?
IT sounds to me like you have a CALCIMINE issue.


If the ceiling is old ( mid-century or before) it was probably painted with a calcimine based paint, and nothing will stick to it.


Ask a professional at the paint store what to do. Today they make products that can cover calcimine.


I had this problem once and it was a nightmare...Paint on ceiling wont stay on?
It could be a number of things:





* Humidity in the wall, this is why you never paint your house after winter, wait until mid or late summer.





* The paint is of bad quality.





* The paint is too thin, when you mix the paint with thinner, make sure to have the right mixing ratios, the paint shouldn't be too thin yet not too thick.





* Also, in some cases, you may need to peel off the old paint before you start with the new paint job.
go to the paint store and explain your problem
