In Toronto when we talk about painting a stucco ceiling, we are talking  about painting an acoustical, popcorn textured ceiling. It is similar to the one in the picture, painted by our Richmond Hill Painters.

•  When painting a stucco ceiling it is important to do some research first. Has your stucco ceiling been previously painted? If the texture feels weak to the touch and easy to “crumble” it has never been painted before. In that case an oil primer or paint is your best bet to avoid stucco from peeling off on your roller. The builder stucco does not always adhere as well as paint does and is water soluble. Using oil primer or paint will help to prevent this problem. Zinsser makes a product called “Odorless”. It is not odourless at all but it definitely has less odour than most oil primers. It is also a stand alone finish coat for textured ceilings, so using two products is not necessary.
• Everything in the room has to be covered! Painting stucco ceilings can be very messy. Using dropcloths on carpet or hardwood and plastic over furniture will protect customer property. Also, be prepared to be splattered by the paint/stucco as you roll the ceiling. Protecting yourself with a hat, long sleeves and even safety glasses is a good idea.
• Roll in very small sections as it becomes difficult to see which areas have been saturated and which have not. Do not go back to areas that have been painted as texture may be damaged. Wait for first coat to dry completely. The good news is, that the second coat will be easier to apply as the texture has been now sealed. Clean up the mess and yourself and you are done.
