Paint Over the Popcorn Ceiling

  • Paint in one direction and stop. Don't roll back and forth because once the popcorn gets wet it starts to peel.

  • For stains, roll or spray paint the stained spot, with the same color the ceiling will be painted with, and let dry completly before painting the entire ceiling.

  • 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.
