Any recommendations here for a decent textured paint for a ceiling?
A relative of mine is looking for a quick way to cover up some relatively minor blemishes on a kitchen ceiling after some pretty poor patching with filler following a bit of electrical work. I know that ideally the ceiling should be re-skimmed, but that really isn't an option at present.
There used to be a paint that was full of pearlite granules that was used a lot. My bathroom walls are done with it. Lethal if in bath and one rubbs sensitive areas against it while undressed. No idea what it was called but it came in loads of colours....

Yes, I know that there's some dodgy stuff out there calling itself 'textured', that's why I was wondering if anyone here had used something similar that they would recommend. I haven't used anything like it myself for many years so I know very little about it.
Should only be used as a last resort as it makes future work on the ceiling almost impossible.
Paper it first & then paint. (Lining paper)
That was my advice, but he doesn't want to do that as access is apparently difficult because of recently fitted units.
I can relate to that, having had a sod of a job removing some that was on the lounge celing of our house when we moved in.
Recommend? hardly. Filler or plaster.

He is now going to get it skimmed.
a sigh of relief is in order!
