Segmented foam roller

Painting a Popcorn Ceiling

1. Use a segmented foam roller when painting a textured ceiling (figure A).

2. Paint in one direction and stop (figure B).

3. You don’t want to roll back and forth because once the popcorn gets wet it starts to peel.

4. If there is a spot that needs a bit more paint, the best solution is to wait for the first coat to dry and then repeat the process.
