Painting Popcorn Ceiling?

Is it easy? It was not too bad. A two car garage took around six hours. Two, three hour sessions, including follow up patching of gouges, holes.

The question is how to paint previously unpainted popcorn ceiling.
I recall painting apartment ceilings but I'm pretty sure they were previously painted, actually with each new tenancy.
Will a deep or split foam roller do it without destroying the texture?

Tape off the room and use an airless sprayer (ideally the ones that look like small pressure washers - not the hand held kind). Makes quick work of the ceiling with great results.

Built in '83 and what I have read asbestos was banned in in the finish by 1980 here because our state followed Federal standards but it's worth a look.

If it’s ‘83, probably not asbestos. You could always scrape a small piece off and have it tested ant a lab. Another option is overlay it with 1/4” drywall. Yes, you’ll have to tape the new drywall.

Sadly, yes. My last two houses had a popcorn ceiling in the garage. The last one had the popcorn ceiling, but the walls had only been mudded and taped.
