Painted sheetrock, or drywall, is not highly porous, but it does have some degree of porosity. The paint creates a barrier that reduces the absorption of moisture and other substances, making it less porous than unpainted drywall. However, if the paint is damaged or worn, the underlying sheetrock can absorb moisture, which may lead to issues like mold or deterioration. Overall, while painted sheetrock offers some protection, it is not entirely impermeable.
Yes, painted walls are considered porous because paint allows air and moisture to pass through them. However, the porosity of painted walls can vary depending on the type of paint and the number of coats applied.
Yes, you can paint sheetrock.
To effectively sheetrock a garage, start by measuring and cutting the sheetrock to fit the walls. Secure the sheetrock to the studs using screws or nails. Tape and mud the seams to create a smooth surface. Sand the sheetrock to remove any imperfections. Prime and paint the sheetrock for a finished look.

When installing sheetrock, you typically cut on the side that will be facing the room or space where it is being installed. This ensures a clean and precise fit for the sheetrock.
Sheetrock (or drywall) should generally be primed before applying liquid nail. Priming helps seal the surface, ensuring better adhesion of the liquid nail and preventing it from absorbing moisture from the drywall. Painting after priming can also provide a smoother finish and improve the overall appearance. However, if the goal is to directly adhere materials to the Sheetrock, make sure it’s clean and free of dust or debris.
