Question 1

What kind of paint should I use for my ceiling?

Accepted Answer

The best paint for ceilings is usually white or another light shade with a flat or matte finish designed to hide flaws and reduce glare. Select a ceiling-specific paint formulated to drip less and cover well in one coat. For a more durable finish, you can use a satin or semi-gloss paint, especially for ceilings prone to moisture or stains. Find the right paint for your ceiling in our DIY guide on how to paint a ceiling.

Question 2

What kind of primer should I use before painting?

Accepted Answer

The primer you should use depends on the surface and the type of paint you plan to use. A general-purpose primer works well on new drywall, allowing you to cover up previously painted surfaces with easy cleanup. However, you may need a specialty primer for certain situations, such as an oil-based primer for bare wood, a rust-inhibiting primer for metal, a stain-blocking primer for water stains, smoke damage, or strong odors, or a bonding primer for glossy surfaces. Your Home Depot store associate can help you find the right primer for your project.

Question 3

What primer can I use on top of paint?

Accepted Answer

The right primer to use on top of paint depends on a few factors. Select a bonding primer for previously painted cabinets, trim, or furniture, and a latex or water-based primer on walls with flat or matte paint. For specialty projects, you can use an oil-based primer when switching from oil-based to latex paint, or a stain-blocking primer if the old paint has stains, smoke damage, or strong colors you need to cover.
