primer you have to prime the drywall first then any latex is what contractors use.

Kilz

primer is OK, but expensive and unnecessary unless you have stains on a wall or ceiling you need to cover before paint. Any good Latex based

PVA primer is good on newly installed drywall.

When painting a small bathroom a red colour should the ceiling of the bathroom be painted red too?

I would paint the ceiling white, especially since the bathroom is small. If you are using a deep red color, it could make the bathroom appear even smaller, and painting the ceiling red could make you feel boxed in. A while ceiling will help to create a more open feeling.


Can you use acrylic latex in a bathroom?

The short answer is yes. The paint you put into a bathroom should have a gloss factor of satin of higher (it makes the paint harder and less permeable to moisture). Many latex and acrylic paints now come with mold inhibitor in them sold under the heading "bathroom" paint.

Can you use flat paint in bathrooms?

you can use a flat paint in a bathroom if there is no moisture problem. the biggest problem in bathrooms is moisture from showers causing mildew on ceilings and walls that leads to paint falling off then the drywall or plaster walls themselves failing. adequate ventilation is necessary for any coating to stand up. where there is adequate ventilation almost any coating will do. Zinsser Perma White self-priming bathroom paint is an awesome water based product made specifically for bathroom ceilings and walls and can be tinted. Self priming means you just paint right over the existing surface. Other major manufacturers like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams also have a great water based bathroom paint. Tell the clerk you want a specialty bathroom paint and he or she will steer you to the right product. old timers like me worried about moisture in a bath will sometimes still coat walls and ceilings with an oil enamel, with a sheen. oil paints in a bath really resist mildew and mold better than anything. modern bathrooms with great ventilating fans, high ceilings, plenty of square footage to dissipate moisture can be painted with almost anything. kane painting, semass


What type o fpaint for ceiling bathroom?

I think I would go for a lighter colour, because you don't want to put too much emphasis on the ceiling. However, if you want to paint the walls a darker colour, i think that could be a great choice. But in the ends, its up to you!
