Lightly sand jagged edges of paint and repaint the area. You may have used the frog tape too soon after painting the ceiling, paint not cured.

Thanks! Ceiling was done in 2015! I suspect they sanded but never removed the dust before applying the paint or primer (whatever they used). Regardless, it was a poorly done job!

You may not be able to match the paint, and may end up having to repaint the entire ceiling. I have seen this happen before. Its not a good idea to tape off the ceiling. It is better to practice cutting in and learning how to paint a nice ceiling line.

No way you could’ve predicted that, but I suspect there is an incompatibility problem between the existing coat of paint and what it’s painted onto, so it has very poor adhesion properties. Agreed that cutting in with a paintbrush is the way to go in the future...and it usually gives a cleaner line.

Spackle the damages with an all-purpose drywall compound. (It may require two thin coats of mud)

-Sand the drywall compound

-Spot prime with primer/sealer.

-Repaint the entire ceiling with Benjamin Moore 508 dead flat ceiling paint.

This is professional advice.

It looks like the ceiling was never primed and hence the peeling.

I would tape the walls near the ceiling with yellow 1" Frog tape. ( step #1)

Next, hang some 9' plastic (from rolls) from ceiling to floor.

Attach the plastic with 1.5" blond 3M 2020 tape, but stick it onto the yellow tape you applied in step #1.

Test that too, because you may have the same problem if the walls were never primed.

I use a Wooster 14" roller cage with a 1/2" Pro./Doo--Z roller sleeve.

Good luck!

In the event that you haven't eliminated the entirety of the tape yet, utilize an extremely sharp edge to remove bits of tape and raised paint. After you move the rest of away, utilize a sanding square to softly
