what's the best type of paint for a bathroom ceiling?

Answer 1

I think latex paint is often used in bathrooms and kitchens because moisture doesn't seep through it and it's easier to clean.

Answer 2

None oil base paint..preferably a gloss paint that will guard against moisture...Have you ever been in an older house or even a house with oil base paint in the bathroom? It can be gross be cause the paint will sweat and look like a mold develops or even worse like some body well it is gross!!!

Answer 3

I w ould suggest either a flat or semi-gloss oil based paint, but the most important thing to remember is adequate prep, before, sand, use tac cloth to remove ALL sanding particles, and when you paint, do it on a day that is dry, and low humidity, and well ventilated.
I like rollers with a drip shield.

Answer 4

You can buy a paint formulated for bathrooms. I used it and havent had any problems . Resists damp and mildew and its easy to clean.

Answer 5
