Question:

What kind of paint roller cover do I use to paint my ceiling?

I am using Dutch Boy Ceiling Solutions, the kind that goes on purple and dries white. I primed with FastPrime over new drywall. I put one coat of the DB on and it looks like poo. I painted in grids, but got uneven coverage and you can tell where the drywall tape was. Maybe the roller I used was wrong for the app? Or did I just do a crummy job. I have painted many a room before, but not many ceilings.

Answer:

use primer than paint it
one of the LONG STICKED white painter rollers. you can get this 0ne at home depot or lowe's.
It just may need another layer of paint and the taping job may not be that great Good Luck
New drywall may need multiple coats to get complete coverage. Do not paint in a grid. Start at one side and work across always keeping a wet edge. The method you are using will always produce uneven results.
