Here are some additional tips for painting popcorn ceilings:

- Use a low-pressure sprayer to apply the paint. This will help to prevent the paint from dripping.

- Use a roller with a thick nap to apply the paint. This will help to cover the popcorn bumps and create a smooth finish.

- Be careful not to apply too much paint to the ceiling. This can cause the popcorn bumps to sag.

- Allow the paint to dry completely before moving furniture or other objects back into the room.
