roller brush marks on ceiling?

Keep getting roller brush marks showing on ceiling. I applied even amount of paint and covered all ceiling keeping the wet edge going. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening. Whats the best type of roller to use for a ceiling?

Thanks

Best to use a sheepskin roller,buy the best you can afford.Usually a 7 or 9 inch is big enough for most ceilings. Dont apply to much pressure to the finish strokes as this will cause lines from the edge of the roller to form. Your right about the wet edge, do a meter square at a time. Dont overload your roller and spread the paint as evenly as possible. Silk paints need more care when applying as the finish can show more imperfections. If your new to painting, stick to matt paint for your first few goes, its more forgiving. Hope this helps. Wash your sheepskin roller out with warm(not hot) water realy well and dry it by spinning it, Do this outside!!. A good roller will last for years!!

give it a few coats of paint and they should dissappear
