How to Touch Up Textured Ceilings When it comes time for maintaining or refreshing a textured ceiling, especially on a popcorn ceiling if using the right tools is paramount in producing professionally done results. Touching up textured ceiling paint is a critical activity that must be done from various angles.
Choosing the Right Roller
Split Foam Roller: Use as a split foam roller, not the standard round. The specialized roller uses the freedom of foam discs glued together on a base allowing them to move freely. The discs delicately flex and will mould themselves to the contours without knocking down your popcorn texture as ever you roll over the textured surface12.
Stockpiling Rollers: A split foam roller2, or 25-30mm nap roller can stand in. But they do not certainly prevent texture damage still.
Painting Technique
Gently Dab: Gently dab your paint on as to not apply too much pressure and disrupt the texture areas. Others should approach with a light hand, lest they scrape any popcorn off23.
For the edges you will need to do a bit of edge work — use your brush for cutting in around all the edges before rolling. That creates a good crisp line and ensures all the particles are getting covered2.
Preparation and Cleanup
Prep The Surface: Make sure the ceiling area is dry and free from dust in order to paint. If the ceiling has been painted before, inspect it for any areas of peeling or flaking paint that’ll need to be repaired prior to touching up.
Cleanup: Don’t expect zero spillage, as painting textured ceilings can cause splatter. Cover floors and furniture with drop cloths to eliminate the need for extensive cleaning after painting12.textured ceiling (ad)
