Kimberly Barney on Jul 07, 2013With a popcorn ceiling, you don't want to use too much paint as it can become heavy and start to come apart. First of all, they can match the popcorn ceiling best if they used a blower and match the size of the kernels to the existing. Then they will have to paint the entire ceiling in order to keep the new area from being a different color. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is with a sprayer or large nap roller.Helpful Reply

Barry Elings on Jul 08, 2013Tell them not to do it themselves..hire someone who has done it before. Popcorn ceilings are among the easiest ceilings to match...I've found. If someone hasn't screwed it up to begin with :)Helpful Reply

Bonnie B on Jul 08, 2013Thanks for the answers, but I'm still hoping for more ideas. Supposedly they are using a professional repair person but he couldn't get any where near a match to the contiguous ceilings. I know the true fix is to scrape, texture and paint all of the ceilings but we can't do this with tenants living there. Perhaps a faux artist would be color savy. It might be easy enough to match the popcorn material but it's the color matching that is the problem. Hi ! Yair ~~ been very busy but it is good to be back asking my "girlie" questions ~~Helpful Reply

Phil Miller on Jul 09, 2013If it is sheetrock, remove the 4X8 sheet. Replace it. And then tape,bed and float it. Spray the new piece with matching composition and repaint the whole ceiling .Helpful Reply
