How do you paint a ceiling with a paintbrush?
Using a paint brush
Apply the paint using smooth parallel strokes, do not push too hard with the brush onto the ceiling, apply just enough pressure to put a slight bend in the bristles.

I nearly always advise to paint all the coving in one colour.. thats how it should be..but in some circumstances like if the wall hs a textured finish or a thick blown vinyl then painting the underside the same as the wall colour (providing its not a too strong colour) can sometimes get you off the hook.
