Joint compound isn't very expensive so you will probably be better off to fix it and smooth with a damp sponge before you paint.
Thanks i wull try it
Hi Carolyn, You can mix some joint compound in with the paint which will make it a little thicker and give it a little texture which would cover small cracks.
Yes, you can purchase a paint that has texture in it. It would be best to go over the cracks with a caulk that can be painted or a drywall spackle depending on how wide the cracks are. Be sure to prime the ceiling first before applying a final coat of paint.
Thanks for your advice
There is no paint for it. You have to use a skim coat of compound
Thanks
