Yes, most acoustical ceiling tiles can be repainted. However, you need to be careful about the type of paint you choose. You will need a paint that has a high level of hiding power, low combustibility, and is not likely to produce bridge openings in the tile.
Yes, painting acoustical tile can affect its acoustical and fire-resistant qualities. Depending on the burning characteristics of the paint, the flame spread rating may reduce fire resistance.
