hawthorne 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Get proper primer as undercoat, dun use the ceiling paint. Reason is primer are specially formulated to protect the paints you are painting on, and to ensure maximum applicability. You dun need alot of primer, cos you can always dilute them down if you are painting dark over light. Ceiling paint if you want to save some $$ can opt for Matex. But the quality is not very good.
