I haven't done it but I was just passing along the advice from the paint guru at Lowes.

It is very possible that you would have to have it skim coated after removing popcorn because the wet surface is easily nicked by the removal implements. We have popcorn only in the basement and we are hesitating taking it off because fixing nicks in drywall is VERY difficult, time consuming and expensive to hire done. We are going to try it in the bathroom down there first. If you hear someone cussing up Ohio way, it is me.
