    If there is serious damage to the ceiling it should be replaced.

    Try using Kilz again block primer. You can also get this in a spray can as well as in a can. If this doesn't work then it will need to be replaced.

    Hi there, you should be able to paint your water-damaged ceiling. Kilz 2 should do the trick. You can use the spray version, which is normally an exact color match or brush it on. If brushing, you will most likely have to paint the entire ceiling. Use a thick nap roller for that job.
