Reply to comment by kharmatika in [Question] will DIY popcorn ceiling removal tactics work as well on daybed in plaster? by kharmatika

The builders NEVER paint this type of ceiling, it’s a feature of why they do it, because it’s white and covers all the seams. Would only be painted if a former owner did it.

That’s what I’m thinking, I think all the paint advisories are more applied to other textured ceiling types, I can’t imagine how many coats it would take to work over this stuff that has the shape of upset whipped cream! So hopefully it should be pretty easy!

From experience, it takes at least 3 coats of ceiling paint to properly cover this texture. You will NOT get full coverage after 2 coats, and after dry color match is nearly impossible, so poor coating will always be visible.
