It s so much better and brighter than it was. You will also benefit from buying a ceiling specific variety or one that is already pre mixed with a primer. The kilz will help to cover up imperfections stains etc on the ceiling and will prepare the ceiling to be painted but it is not in and of itself a paint. Kilz brand paint primer has a ceiling spray paint in a can that works great for stains.

I have found that some of the popcorn ceilings that i have not primed first w oil before painting the tape joints turn out a brighter white than the rest of the ceilng after the painting is complete. I understand your toughts on oil primer. Oil primer will not re wet the popcorn and can be covered with water based paint after the primer dries in about two hours. The bumpier the texture the longer the primer roller nap needs to be to fill the hills and valleys.

Texture such as popcorn or the flatter knockdown version typically doesn t need a primer finish and only needs paint if you want to change the color. If you purchase a high quality product in this finish you will spend less time on the project and get better results. Protect a drywall ceiling with primer or primer and paint before adding any ceiling textures. Before you paint your popcorn ceiling you need to prime it to ensure proper paint adhesion.

My question is do i need to topcoat the kilz with. Best paint for popcorn ceilings. It s smart to use a good primer before you repaint a ceiling. Apply a base coat of stain blocking primer.

I recently used it to cover hideous stains caused from water damage. Once the ceiling is completely dry cover the ceiling trim with painter s tape to protect it from primer and paint. You also need the oil based primer to seal the nicotine and prevent it from bleeding back through your water based ceiling paint. And a gallon of decent white paint for the ceiling won t set you back much and it won t take much time.

If the ceiling is old you may need a stain blocking primer to prevent old stains from bleeding through.
