Matching Ceiling Texture

Things You'll Need

Sand Texture Additive
Paint
Primer

 

Solution:

You've made the repair in your ceiling, but now you have to match the sand texture. Well, it's not as difficult as you might think, I'll show you how.

The key is a sand texture additive, there are many brands on the market and you can pick them up anywhere you buy paint.

For the brand I'm using you mix four ounces of texture into a quart of paint. Use that as your guide and adjust according to how much you'll need for your repair.

Read the directions that come with your texture to get the right measurements. A tip; combine the two in a plastic zipper bag for minimal mess.

Once the paint and texture are mixed together, wait a half hour before you apply the paint. I already primed this repair. Just make sure that it dries thoroughly so that it is sealed and ready to paint.

Apply the sanded paint to the repair feathering it into the sides so that it blends evenly with the surrounding paint.

Depending upon your ceiling you may need two coats.
