    We wet and scraped ours off. It left a rough surface but we painted it and it looked great! It looked like we planned it. Most ceilings have a texture to them. Cover everything with sheets or paint throws to protect. Our neighbor did the same thing and he taped the 7 or 8 inch hose adapter to the scraper and caught most of his as he went! I wish we had thought of that! He painted his eggshell color the same as we painted ours. His looked great too and was much less work.
