May i paint acoustic ceiling with paint roller?

I'd have to agree with the very fluffy roller. But if that popcorn texture is really delicate, be prepared for a lot of it to come off in your face as you paint! Even if you go with a spray gun, you'll still knock off a lot of those tiny balls. They really aren't made to be painted, only to look at. Whoever invented that stuff never took into account that some day it may need painting. That's why I generally hate all kinds of textured or stucco finishes. They are not only tough to paint, but really rough to touch or bump into.May i paint acoustic ceiling with paint roller?
no, use a sprayer, or strip and redoMay i paint acoustic ceiling with paint roller?
sure you can but you have to keep moving put on a light coat and let it dry then recoat. as you paint the paint wets through the plaster that is mixed with the popcorn. This loosens the bond to the substrate. with more agitation it comes loose and falls off. use any of the mentioned rollers but don't worry about coverage the first go-round.
If you mean the tiles that are held up with grid work yes....


if you're talking about the spray on popcorn stuff ...no I wouldn't....
Yes, you can do either, or. We did but it isn't easy. Once it's done it looks nice. Popcorn, you might have to spray it on quite thick to cover, try it first.
Use a very fluffly roller, meant for deeply textured ceilings, but cover everything, because the popcorn WILL come off. I think I'd rather NOT scrape it, WAY too messy. If it were me, I'd get rid of it by covering the ceiling with a new one, and painting that one, it would actually be alot less work.
Yes, you can. You can purchase sponge paint roller sleeves (they have slits in them) that work perfectly on uneven surfaces.
