Hi, remove what paint you want to remove, and from 2 feet away with eye protection and a cheap paper respirator mask, use this product to spray the unpainted ceiling area. It comes out fast, so do not over spray the product or it will drip. You might want to shake up the can and practice spraying for 2 seconds outside, to visualize the volume.
Wait at least 15 minutes for that to dry, and with a 4" flexible drywall knife, apply some patching compound to the primed area, with the goal of achieving the same thickness as the old plaster. Wait overnight and then sand and paint. I recommend this patching compound. It's easy to work with, the knife will fit inside of the tub, it sands well, and it will not drip on you while it's being applied to the ceiling, as many other drywall joint compounds tend to do. What it can do sometimes is accidentally fall off the knife and onto the floor, so the way that you hold the knife with the product, a little bit at a time, as you approach putting it on the primed ceiling, is all important. And sand the dried patch with at least a 200 grit sandpaper that is being held by something flat, not your hand. And you may use the Kilz on your sanded patches prior to painting the ceiling. Again spray lightly. Good luck.
