    Default How to paint a new ceiling - sealer? which paint?

    Hi all, I just resheeted a ceiling and got a mate to set it.

    Whats the best way to paint it so it will last?

    I was told to paint all the plaster joins with a sealer, then paint the whole ceiling with a sealer, then paint ceiling white. Is this right ?

    please enlighten me

    any tips on brands of paint would be nice too.

    Post Ceiling Paint

    Hi Daren
    Any quality ceiling white will do the trick. The secret is not to use a cheap low quality paint. A good sealer should do the job with only one coat which means you don't have to coat the joints first. Just one coat of sealer with a light sand followed by two coats of ceiling white. Always make sure each coat is dry before applying the next coat.
    Cheers

    Use a premium acrylic sealer undercoat from dulux or wattyl. Seal the joins and the plaster in one go. Allow 2-3 hours to dry. Then lightly rub the area removing any grit. Then apply 2 coats of a good premium sealing flat acrylic.
