My mother’s kitchen skylight blew out during IRMA and rain stained the ceiling around the skylight. I’m looking for a reasonably quick fix that works vs. scraping off the popcorn or installing new drywall. Pls help!

Yes, you can! See link attached for step by step instructions! http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/walls-and-ceilings/painting-over-a-popcorn-ceiling
You can paint it - use Kilz primer first to cover the water stains and then paint. Be sure that the leak is fixed before you paint.
First, make sure you don't have mold forming. Get rid of any areas where mold may be forming (Clorox), then Kilz and paint.
try a clear coat spray let dry and paint
Yes..we have painted
TY
I've never tried it, but I have read that if you try to paint it with a roller the popcorn falls off into the roller. Probably the same with brushes. You might try a spray paint, but again I've never done it.
Use killz first, then paint
When you paint a pop corn ceiling, make sure you load up your roller with paint because you only roll in one direction, once. You can't keep rolling back and forth because it will pull the texture off the ceiling. I would use Kilz Up Shot instead. We had a toilet overflow upstairs and left a watermark on the ceiling downstairs. I used Kilz Up Shot and it covered it right up. No muss no fuss.
Try a KILZ. Get the spray not the can. It may take more than once, but it worked for me.
I had a leak around a sky light in the kitchen. I used bleach in a spray bottle. Make sure you cover everything to protect from the mist. Worked for me and I didn't have to paint.
Hi, yes they can. Kilz 2 should do the trick. You can use the spray version, which is normally an exact color match or brush it on with a thick nap roller for that job.
Yes! Use some kilz to keep the ceilings from problems in the future.
Use Kilz to paint it and seal it and the repaint the ceiling.
Hi, yes you can. If your house was built before the mid 80's, it could contain lead or asbestos, so just be careful and have it tested first. When choosing paint just in case you ever decide to remove the popcorn buts. Oil paint on the popcorn ceiling makes it almost impossible t remove.
