Paint For Ceiling


What is a good ceiling paint? How about the one Home Depot sells.

Thanks,

David

Re: Paint For Ceiling


Depends...are you spraying?

if so and you are going to use home depot... use there glidden $35 a five gallon stuff... i've sprayed it for years.. and it will go thru the gun nice just spray one coat in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.

And before anyone else says it..... don't buy paint from home depot

pratt and lambert has a good $35 a five gallon stuff that works great.

Sherwin Williams Promar200 isn't a bad paint just for ceiling white. Skip the big box stores and get paint from a paint store.

Re: Paint For Ceiling


Seriously, don't buy the HD, L, W*M, ceiling paint unless you absolutely need to put up two or three coats and still have it look bad and you like when paint splatters like a shower massage

Builder's solution is good too....another one, "property management" paint is a joke.
