Painting New Textured Drywall Ceiling - Painting - DIY Chatroom ...

If this was me, I would just get a good oil based primer/sealer to lock the texture down. If rolling, roll in one direction until covered with a 3/4" roller to avoid having the new texture come off on the roller. Then a good ceiling paint applied in the same fashion. after the prime coat is dry. The texture should be pretty stable after the prime coat with the oil, but I would be careful about any back and forth rolling with the ceiling paint.

I posted a couple of pics in the drywall forum of a couple of ceilings I removed the pop cron from, skimmed, primed and painted. I just use a Glidden ceiling paint I bought at Home Depot for about $23 for 2 gallons. I have some touch up to do on the mud, but the paint looks fine to me at this point. I see no point in spending more money than necessary for ceiling paint and thought I would try this paint.
