My ceilings been painted with watered down paint more water then paint how is it going to effect it?

I paid someone to paint my popcorn acoustic ceiling in my bedroom. I think he tried to rip me off and instead of painting it, I think he mixed flat wall paint with water in a hand sprayer and just sprayed the ceiling to clean it and make it appear more white. I never saw a single bucket of paint, or any rollers, there was no taping anything off, or using something to cover my floor or plastic for the walls etc. The ceiling looks like puffy mash potatoes. It looks about 3 times the size it use to be, like white clouds. Plus there is a ring around my ceiling fan that extends outward about 5' and its a different color then the rest of the ceiling. How would I know if he sprayed it with water vs painting it? AND if he did over wet the ceiling, what will happen from here? If there is water trapped behind the acoustic now, will it weigh it down and start falling off? Will the water dry out eventually? Will it mold under the acoustic popcorn? Does a painted acoustic ceiling look like puffy clouds 3'; thick when painted for the first time? Is it possible to paint it wihtout leaving any type of mess at all? What should I do?My ceilings been painted with watered down paint more water then paint how is it going to effect it?
Kndkcook2, painting a popcorn ceiling should be done with a airless sprayer and it sounds to me like you've been had. Yes, there's been too much water or paint applied here and that's why the ceiling looks like this. If it's dry and has this appearance there's a good chance the texture will begin to crack and come down in pieces and maybe sheets. If it does your going to have to scrape down and redo the cieling.





If your going to have to remedy this yourself I can walk you through a likely fix, but we'll need to get on it pretty much right away before the texture starts to let go. Without actually seeing it I'm making an educated guess from the past experience of going in after someones done what you've described; and if so, the remedy is fairly easy and shouldn't require you to have or purchase or rent expensive tools.





I'm going to pass you the ball here and now simply say that you need to review who I am. . . if you want me to help you out subsequent to this answer then get back to me and I'll do what I can to further help you out with this. In closing I'm goiing to state that in the future always be sure of the competence and ethic of who you bring into your home to do work; if the individual or persons are not known by reputation, thoroughly check them out by asking for a customer/client list; call them and/or look at their work.

Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?

Do you have any good ideas?





what colors?


or patterns or designs.


something cool.





i am 15 :) Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think it would look cool to paint a diamond or checker pattern in ';plum blossom'; (# 6974) and ';rosebay'; (# 6563).





You can also take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?
This is a pretty cool paint job. I had this vision in my mind of a light blue/light green/white stripey kind of thing, so I tried to see if there was a pic like it online. I didn't find it but I did find this:

How long i have to let dry the texture in a wall before paint it?

I know you should let it ';cure'; for about 10 - 12 hours, but a friend of mine who does drywall told me that when it turns from the ';putty grey'; color to a chalky white it's ready to paint. (Test first by running your palm over the wall surface and it should pick up powdery residue. If you have any doubt as to if it's dry, then you probably should wait. No sense messing up a good paint job by trying to rush it.How long i have to let dry the texture in a wall before paint it?
At least give it 12- 15 hoursHow long i have to let dry the texture in a wall before paint it?
depends on type of texture. popcorn,knock-down,orange peel,etc. As a general rule 12-24 hrs will do the job just fine. After u let it dry, pick off a bit if u can and see if it crushes into powder between your fingers. if it does, then u can paint.
When you place your palm on the surface, it shouldn't feel cool to touch. If it does, all of the moisture hasn't yet evaporated.

When applying PolyCrylic over furniture painted with latex paint, how long do I have to wait for paint to dry?

I just painted my daughters bedroom furniture with white latex wall paint (Kilz satin finish)....How long should I wait for the paint to dry/cure before I can apply polycrylic to it?





Also, am I supposed to lightly sand my paint jobs before applying the polycrylic?





I've never used this stuff before, but I want to protect the paint from being chipped or scraped off of the furniture and this was the only stuff that said I could cover paint with it.





One more thing, clear satin polycrylic won't yellow over time, will it? I've painted the furniture white. If it WILL, can someone recommend something else I can use to protect the paint jobs that won't yellow?





Thanks : )When applying PolyCrylic over furniture painted with latex paint, how long do I have to wait for paint to dry?
I would wait twice the label drying time to be sure it's really dry. If you lightly sand before the polycrylic be sure it's very light or you will wear off the edges. I would probably try putting on a first coat and then sand or steel wool between coats, if you don't want to risk seeing the edges. I don't know if it yellows. Try a sample on an old board for the sanding.

Anyone know how to get a starry paint brush in Neopets?

Either find one through a random event, get one through the tombola or the fruit machine, or get one from Tarla. You can get Tarla by installing the neopets toolbar here: http://toolbar.neopets.com/ When the blue orb flashes yellow, (and it flashes at random times during the course of one day, sometimes skipping a day), click on it. You'll get a pop-up with the text ';After a busy day searching her warehouse, Tarla has a huge surprise for everyone. You better hurry, she is a very busy Ixi. Click here to see what Tarla is giving away,'; and once you click on that link, you will get a prize. If you leave the orb flashing for too long, you will either get a ';dropped'; prize (of lesser value than the true prize) or you will completely miss her. The orb flashes for only minutes.





She generally gives out paint brushes or valuable petpet pbs/items every few months. FAQ about everything about Tarla: http://www.neopets.com/~Xoe676Anyone know how to get a starry paint brush in Neopets?
