maybe you painted too many layers at once and they didn't get to dry correctly. you need to paint a layer and wait for it to dry before applying multiple coats. it looks like from your image that you had really thick layers of paint. this can lead of part of it drying before another and that's much like the crust of the planet, if you can imagine... as things dry, they 'tighten' up and this leads to adhesion. however, if the bottom layers or the rest of your very thick layer are still liquid, they won't shrink at the same rate, which leads to troughs and raised portions

if this isn't the case, and you did the painting correctly, you probably needed primer. primer, use a paint roller to apply thin but not overly thin layers, touch up with a brush and to do edging

maybe your room was too humid. or manmade humidity. steam can crack drying paint.

you'll either have to peel off and resand most of your paint and start again.. or live with it until it gets a lot worse

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 14:00:22 2017 No.1267828 SHOT >OF BLACK

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 14:00:52 2017 No.1267830 >>1267823 This. For a better result. 1. Paint a thin layer. 2. Wait for it to dry. 3. Repeat.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 14:02:02 2017 No.1267833 >>1267808 I think OP's results answer that...

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 15:29:28 2017 No.1267880 >>1267830 Basically this which is why it costs so God damn much to have something painted for you. It's fucking time consuming.

op, if what they're assumin is true and you laid it on thick...ive never really seen that happen. .when you lay it on too thick it usually just gloops down all stupid like and you get shit runs on the wall

as for not having primed or sanded properly. it would even come close to lookin that shitty

you fix it by scraping the whole shit area and repaint the ceiling

im thinking there's something you're not telling us.

any before pics

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 18:27:02 2017 No.1267990 OP just let it dry for a few days, alpply some caulk to fill in the cracks let that dry a day then repainted, this time, not so much paint... >DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SAND

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 18:55:51 2017 No.1268009 >>1267823 OP here. I literally painted one layer, no primer used, i think the problem was the humidity >>1267983 No before pic, sorry anon, but the ceiling was clean and 'dry'. >>1267990 Thanks anon, i will do that. I hope it goes well.

>caulk
wtf?
skim coat it with joint compound if the paint is sticking good and its supposed to be a smooth ceiling, or get a small container of high build primer and see if that hides it sufficiently.
Don't scrape anything that isn't already falling off on its own. What's the ceiling made out of, and how did it look before you painted it? is it textured finish on sheetrock? What nap length roller did you use?

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 13:26:08 2017 No.1268426 >>1267783 what the fuck did you use for paint, because this looks like watered down yogurt

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 13:43:13 2017 No.1268440 >>1268022 Yes caulk. It's made to be directly be painted. >you suggest something OP needs to prime and then paint...

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 22:54:11 2017 No.1268728 >>1268440 how the fuck are you going to smooth the caulk to be consistent with the rest of the ceiling. It says right on the tube dont use as a skim coat.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 29 03:19:40 2017 No.1268821 >>1267783 Did you mix the paint. Maybe it's old or something
