Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but here goes:

I'm looking to repaint a room. Walls are easy, but my ceilings have a
rough/pointy texture, so I can't just use a roller like I do on the walls
(or can I?). How do I paint this type of ceiling without using a sprayer?

Thanks.

Greetings,

Depending on the texture's strength you might be able to get away with
a long nap roller. The phrase "long nap" refers to the length of the
fuzz on the roller.

Good luck,
William

I would probably just paint it with a brush... painful but effective.

You could try a roller and see how well it does, but you're probably
going to end up at least touching up with a brush.

There is a special roller that is slit around the circumference about every
eighth or quarter of inch for that kind of surface. Ask at a real paint
store.

If there is a "special" roller it's worth a try, but speaking from
experience, a regular long-nap roller will work just fine.

Better not to "scrub" the ceiling with the roller or lay on the paint
too thickly, because sometimes the texture will soak through and fall
off in big globs. Also speaking from experience. Better to use two or
more light coats and let them dry in between.
