Painting a ceiling to look like tin is relatively easy but requires the ability to stand on a ladder for a long period, or the use of a long-handled paint roller. Cleaning the ceiling and allowing it to thoroughly dry should be completed a day before beginning the faux tin ceiling project. Select an embossed design suited to resemble a tin pattern. Home improvement staff can assist with this process.
Instructions
1. Measure and cut enough strips of wallpaper to cover the ceiling.
2. Soak in wallpaper paste and a water mixture for at least 5 minutes.
3. Press the wallpaper firmly onto the ceiling. Smooth any wrinkles or creases. Staple wallpaper to the ceiling to secure it if necessary. Dry the wallpaper overnight before proceeding with the paint.
4. Roll metallic tin colored paint over the embossed wallpaper. Dry the paint overnight.
5. Apply a second coat of paint to achieve the desired effect. This step is optional.
