I'm no pro, but I've painted a decent amount of shit now. First I paint my walls, then i took a paint stir stick and hold it against the ceiling, draw a line every few feet. Then I tape up to that line, so it should leave a ΒΌ" line between the tape and the ceiling. Then paint your ceiling and it will make a nice straight white line on the wall. But this way if your ceiling is wavy or off in any way, it doesn't show, it makes your ceiling look straight.
