Remedy for ceiling that was poorly painted with sand paint
by Janet Eaton
+5
Apparently the previous owners used sand paint to cover some ceiling damage caused by removing a closet or something . The paint is blobby in this area , it’s just ugly and needs some help. I’m not sure what to do with it . Add more sand paint , use texture paint .. just repaint it ,maybe a darker color ? It’s two shades of white now . Need inexpensive ideas, thank you .

My advice would be to texture the entire ceiling then paint it all one color -

I would try scraping as much of the sand off, especially if you don't like the look of it. Maybe try sanding it lightly after scraping and then repaint the entire ceiling using a good ceiling paint for long-lasting solution. Good Luck! -

They were'n't thinking! Many people do not think any further ahead than the next month or so (sadly). :( We once moved into a house and the previous owners had painted the bathroom with sand in the paint. You don't realize how many times you touch the walls while reaching for a towel, etc. until you've had sand painted walls! It took lots of work and elbow grease but we finally got it removed. I located some info on the internet that may help you. The internet wasn't yet available when we discovered our "lovely sand painted" walls decades ago. https://www.hunker.com/13401786/removing-sand-texture-on-ceilings- See 1 previous
