My home has orange peel textured walls and knockdown ceilings.
Orange peel ceiling paint.
An orange peel texture looks exactly as it sounds it resembles the peel of an orange.
Orange peel is typically the result of improper painting technique and is caused by the quick evaporation of thinner incorrect spray gun setup e g low air pressure or incorrect nozzle spraying the paint at an angle other than perpendicular or applying excessive paint.
Allow each layer to dry from 2 to 4 hours.
Use a medium nap roller to roll two coats of drywall primer over the orange peel wall treatment.
You may need a stepladder depending upon the ceiling height.
You will need to prime the walls ahead of time so that the texture has a smooth dirt free surface to stick to.
Creating a nice wall texture can be a challenge.
There are actually quite a few different reasons as to why someone would want to spray an orange peel onto their walls or ceilings.
Keep moving the gun.
Do not apply pressure when rolling.
Fill the well of a paint tray about halfway with drywall mud that has been thinned to a consistency slightly.
Apply the orange peel to the ceiling keeping the gun between 3 and 4 feet away from the ceiling at all times.
An orange peel paint roller is used in the same manner as any other paint roller.
Orange peel texture is a splatter texture that is sprayed onto walls and ceilings to give them a texture that is similar to an orange peel.
Using cans of spray texture can also be a mess.
The primer covers the plaster used to create the orange peel texture and seals the wall treatment.
