Orange peel ceiling paint. Do not apply pressure when rolling. Orange peel is typically the result of improper painting technique and is caused by the quick evaporation of thinner incorrect spray gun setup e g low air pressure or incorrect nozzle spraying the paint at an angle other than perpendicular or applying excessive paint. Apply the orange peel to the ceiling keeping the gun between 3 and 4 feet away from the ceiling at all times. Allow each layer to dry from 2 to 4 hours.
My home has orange peel textured walls and knockdown ceilings. Just one big cellulite cavern really with a front door. Use a medium nap roller to roll two coats of drywall primer over the orange peel wall treatment. An orange peel paint roller is used in the same manner as any other paint roller.

You will need to prime the walls ahead of time so that the texture has a smooth dirt free surface to stick to. You may need a stepladder depending upon the ceiling height. Kinda just suck it up diane first world problem drama queen.
However there is a method that doesn t involve spraying. An orange peel texture looks exactly as it sounds it resembles the peel of an orange. Keep moving the gun. And for several years i truly believed that i would have to live with mock cellulite walls.
Using cans of spray texture can also be a mess.
