VerifiedHello i am MNightTech and i look forward to helping you with this. I'm sorry to hear you are having problems figuring out if you can use the same paint for the ceilings as the walls. I know how frustrating that must be but do not worry i am confident we can help.
I am surprised Sherwin Williams did not let you know if the paint was ok for ceilings. Paint for ceilings can be thicker than standard paints used on the wall so it can cover the entire ceiling in one coat. Satin sheen acrylic paint is a good choice for most areas like that. Semi-gloss can be used if more water resistance is needed on the ceilings but the short answer is yes you can use the same paint on the ceilings if you choose. A flat paint will hide I would also like to just mention very low oder VOC paints you might want to consider. These have very low oder and make the job go much smoother rather than breathing in standard paint fumes. This is actually a pretty common question and if you would like to read more about it then i will include a great thread for you to look over. Just click HERE. Let me know you got the link and it worked ok. Happy to help.
