How can I paint over deeply textured walls without hurting the look of the texture?

I don't want to fill in the depressed areas with paint to create a flat wall look... Thanks for any help you can provide!How can I paint over deeply textured walls without hurting the look of the texture?
Thick, soft paint rollers tend to do a great job on deeply textured walls, just don't overload the roller... if you do, then just spread the paint out a bit more. And, be patient! It'll come out just fine if you take your time.How can I paint over deeply textured walls without hurting the look of the texture?
yes just prime the walls with texure primer using a texured roller then let dry and paint with another texured roller
deeply textured walls can stand approx 2 coats of paint and still retain the pattern, paint it a colour you like and feel you can live with for a few years
You can use a long knapp roller or a brush, but the brush is slow ... ask someone in a paint store or a place like Home Depot for recommendations on getting the job done ... they can tell you exactly how to do it.
use a deep nap roller, 3/4'; - 1 1/2'; and dont use flat pain but an eggshell or pastel paint, on think nap texture the obsorbsion is greater and if you over roll it will be harder to paint. let it dry well between coats.
