I painted my bathroom a rose color. I managed to get paint on the popcorn tectured ceiling. How do I get the paint off? Do I need to paint the popcorn white or do I need to add more popcorn stuff. Whenever I touch the ceiling that popcorn stuff starts falling off??? Please help. Thanks.

You'll need to touch up the ceiling paint if you can match the paint. For small little areas, use a sponge. If you're talking about the juncture between ceiling and wall, you'll have to use a brush. If you're painting larger areas, buy a roller made for it. It's a sponge affair that's got slits every inch or so that allows the paint to surround the texture. Ask for it at your paint dealer.

You can touch up the popcorn, but there would have to be a fair amount missing before I'd worry over it. You can buy the stuff in aerosol cans. Follow all directions. Especially as goes the plastic curtain surround, that stuff's gonna want to go everywhere!

Good luck
