Textured paint?

[clevere]

What's your take on textured paint...

It isn't smooth.

I thought about going this route...until I realized that if I ever wanted something different after I did it, it would be a PITA to get rid of it.

That was a rough answer!

How did you come to that conclusion? I figured it would be an easier way to cover up repair jobs in the wall..

I've used the stuff from Home Depot, the Behr texture that comes in 2 gallon buckets. This stuff is basically cement. It took about four hours to put it on a 12x12 ceiling. The day before we primed it with some heavy duty primer. That was 2 years ago and it still looks good.

If your ceiling isn't in the best shape, then I wouldn't use this stuff. My parrents used this stuff about 20 years ago, and a few weeks later it started to fall off.

There is a durrent thread in this group about thinned joint compound. This would definately be lighter and easier on you ceiling.
