Granny’s Pinwheel Quilt Glue-up Styrofoam Ceiling Tile 20 in x 20 in – #R55

"I hand painted all of the tiles using 123 Zinzer primer then rolled on a coat of rustoleum Serenity Blue chalk paint finished with Rustoleum copper metallic paint. To achieve the worn distressed look. All water based compounds. This really transformed my popcorn ceiling to a more unique old school tin type ceiling and gave it more class instead of the bland white color. It is easy to do! This is the second time I have used these tiles. The first was in a newly transformed bedroom to bathroom in my other home. I coated the tiles with rustoleum iridescent paint for looks and protection from moisture. I installed those over a glued up cardboard ceiling."
Tips: Always prime the Styrofoam panels first. It keeps the topcoat on the panels longer. Use a sponge decorator roller cut to 3 inches to spread the copper metallic paint.
