We did a single coat of one part paint to two parts water. We used Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free paint because it has less toxins to off gas. Cut in with a brush and used a roller for the majority.

Tips
Test ratios and paints before you commit to the real job.
Best to have one person apply to keep consistency across the job.
Mix one batch and apply over the whole job to keep consistency.
Try brushing over after using roller.
Don't cut in, when it comes to corners use the roller to get close as possible and very quickly use a dry bush blend.
