Textured ceiling

I am about to begin painting my living room but it has a textured ceiling.. Besides using a spray machine what type of bristle , brush would be the best to paint this surface... Thanks

You can roll it out with one of those big fluffy rollers. Just tarp everything as they drip something furious.

I think they call it a "long-nap" roller.

BTW, I hate painting! It is the one home-improvement I will always pay someone else to do...

Don't tape it. With the textured ceiling you won't get good results with tape. Buy a painter's shield (basically a piece of aluminum with a handle), it will work better with less effort.
