ceiling paint
Moderators: Greg, Mark, mhrAJ333, JD
I'm painting some water spots on the ceiling of a 25 year old mobile home built by Kauffman and Broad. I've primed the spots with a couple of coats and would like to match a final coat to the color of the ceiling panels. The white primer stands out more than I would like but I don't want to have to take a ceiling panel down to the paint store to make a match. I'm wondering if anyone has found a paint color that's a good match for this type of ceiling. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi & welcome. Plan on painting the entire ceiling. After 25 years you are going to have sun fade, dust & dirt. You will spend more time & money trying to match the shade that is there then you will painting the entire ceiling.
Use a quality ceiling paint with a stain blocker such as Kilz. If it is a popcorn ceiling plan on using a brush & dabbing the paint on, if you try to roll it the paint will soften the popcorn and it rolls off with the next pass. Greg
