Painting a popcorn ceiling

I painted the ceiling in the laundry room using a Wagner spray painter (cheapest kind) - it was a lot of trouble and it only looked so-so when I finished. 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. Dorothy 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. -- posted from http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...ng-533537-.htm using HomeOwnersHub's Web, RSS and Social Media Interface to home and garden related groups |
