How to Repair a Damaged Popcorn Ceiling?
Popcorn ceilings can be beautiful, however if damaged, the repair can be difficult. It is a method of putting acoustical advantages on the ceiling, yet is easy to apply and relatively cost effective. If you are repairing a hole in the ceiling, the hole needs repair before attempting to repair popcorn ceiling texture. When the damage has occurred from a water leak, the leak needs to be repaired before the ceiling. Ensure there is no other damage created from the leak, such as drywall or sheetrock that is soaked. If so, replace the damaged areas before repairing the ceiling. Create a smooth area around the damaged ceiling by sanding it smooth and removing the popcorn texture that already exists. Use a good primer coat before beginning to repair popcorn ceiling texture, otherwise the new coat of texture may not adhere to the ceiling. Compare the texture to make a match between the old and the new texture. A texture that is placed into paint is the best way to repair popcorn texture. Avoid using the spray on product. Using the paint-on texture method allows control of the product, in terms of the size and concentration needed. Purchase fine, medium or a coarser-grade to blend with your pre-existing ceiling texture. As you are painting the areas that are in need of repair, ensure you coat the areas that aren't in need as well to coat the ceiling uniformly. Before painting on the texture, an extra piece of wood or drywall can be painted with the paint-texture mixture to determine the balance of paint vs. popcorn. Applying the texture with a roller is great for the majority of areas. When the repair spot is too close to a wall, a brush of edging tool can get into the areas the roller is too large for. Roll once across the damaged area and allow to dry. Make a second or third pass through the area, until the spot matches the texture on the rest of the ceiling. Dry thoroughly before vacuuming ceiling or cob-webbing the area.

Can I paint a flat ceiling with a textured roller to get a different look?
Using just paint, you will get very little texture showing. You could use paint with just a slight color in it so that the existing color would show through. Done right, that would give you the look of texture without it really having any.
How do you paint a wall with a popcorn ceiling?
With a roller. Use a 5 gallon bucket with roller grid instead of the cheap flimsy paint trays, they do not work! Put about 1 gal of paint in the bucket and drop the grid in the bucket. This allows you to move your bucket with you instead of refilling the tray and trying to not step into it. Cut in the edges of the ceiling. With a popcorn ceiling this takes some time and steady hands. Next, dip your roller and roll it onto the grid to get the excess paint off of the roller. Now, with a roller pole (pole about 4 feet long screwed into the roller handle), roll onto the ceiling in one direction, not going back over what you painted already. When the wet paint touches the popcorn and soaks into it, it becomes soft and wants to peel off. But, if you roll in one direction and let it dry then you come back and roll the whole ceiling again, in the other direction (think of a basket weave). It will take 2 coats, but it will look right and minimize the popcorn texture from falling off. If the bare sheetrock under the texture was primed before the texture was applied, then there is a far less chance that any texture will come off. But if the bare sheetrock was never primed then its hard for the texture to hold onto the ceiling.
