I'm just decorating for the first time! I am trying to emulsion a ceiling and all that is happening is that it is lifting the previous layer of paint underneath and its coming off in strips like wallpaper! What can I do? I was using Dulux matt paint for walls and ceilings.
Paint lifting from ceiling, HELP!

Hi Sandrap,
Sounds to me like the previous owner may have had the ceiling skimmed and didn't give it a mist coat.
Think you may have to strip all old paint off the ceiling before starting over.
