are you talking about painting the ceiling or walls or both? If it's ceilings, I just make small areas to walk in and go at it, drape plastic over top of furniture or course. If it's the walls, I throw down some drops and have at it..
kind of a basic question huh?
are you the guy that's just starting out?

Hey man, there are some great books at your local public library that are for DIY painters. I checked out a couple just for *hits and giggles, and I did find out a couple things I didn't know already. Can't remember the names, but if you are interested, I could look them up for you.
Happy painting, Paul.

It kinda creeped me out on first glance, but I'll live with it...its probably just a phase.

Typically I prime the carpet first with a bonding primer and then follow up with duration. Thats the only way ive been able to really paint over the carpet, and get a good finish.

Shags need to be trimmed before priming.

We trim after priming (the primer raises the grain)

This sounds like it could be a question from a homeowner who's looking for ammunition.
