How do I paint a popcorn ceiling?

Use a roller and lots of white or whatever color you are using.It will be very time consuming so do it when you have alot of free time.Otherwise scrape off the popcorn and start fresh.How do I paint a popcorn ceiling?
spray it , get lots of plasticHow do I paint a popcorn ceiling?
First use BIG BIG roller followed by BIG BIG brush . Its easy.
get a good artist i suppose
popcorn ceilings soak up paint like sponges, i would suggest getting something to scrape off the popcorn, then paint your cieling white then paint it whatever color you want it.





if you paint popcorn ceilings you will use up so much more paint than you would be by scraping it. it will save you money also by not using up as much paint.
Get a deep nappy roller or if the ceiling is plaster and paint mix get several sponges and wipe it down. Other than that thats it.
you can do one of two things.....first, which i don't recommend, is spray paint it.....but second way, which will look better but be very time consuming, is to scrape the popcorn off first, THEN you can use a roller to paint it
