Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you're unable to get a good finish on your ceiling with our Ultra Ceiling Paint, I can understand your disappointment, especially with the time and expense you have put into painting your ceiling. Customer satisfaction is very important, and our Customer Care team is on standby and ready to help. Please contact us directly so we can further assist you with a resolution. In the meantime, to fix the issue, I'd recommend applying a coat of our Ultra Scuff-Defense Flat Paint on your ceiling. The wall paint will have better coverage than the ceiling paint and should give you the desired finish. Again, our Customer Care team would like to hear from you to see how we can help. -Ronald
