My house has pop corn ceilings, too. I painted the ceiling in the laundry

My DH painted the great room and eat in kitchen . He started with an
expensive, long napped roller that I bought especially for the job. He
didn't
like it - switched to one made out foam rubber (roller) with little slits
in
it
- also recommended for the job. He hated that one. Then he switched to
the
cheap ones - you know the kind that come three to a package and you just
throw
them away. They worked best of all. He had to roll it and then when it
dried,
he had to roll it again.....from different direction. It still looks like
he
missed some places but it's all right. We can live with it.
We used regular white ceiling paint.

I personally hate the cheap flat ceiling paint - I could always see the
laps & that's the ugliest. One thick coat of good latex semi-gloss and the
second coat goes pretty fast. Method of application isn't as important as
the quality of paint. Try it next time.
