I once saw on one of those DIY tv shows a decorator mix JC into paint to give it more texture. I have a particularly terrible looking drywall job on my ceilings and want add JC to my flat white ceiling paint to help cover some of the defects. Has anyone added JC to paint before with success or was the decorator on the tv show wrong to add JC to paint?
thanks

I'm a professional, so I'd handle it differently than a D-I-Y'er, but check out "D-mix" using the search function, and you'll get all kinds of D-I-Y tips for drywall finishing and cover-ups.
If it were me, I would redo the bad finishing job. Any bogus dw finishing will telegraph through even a heavy knockdown or popcorn texture. Once you have that up there, redoing/properly finishing that ceiling is impossible.
Mixing paint into mud (use the paint as you would water to thin for texturing) will work and produce a sort of eggshell when rolled.
