Question 2

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 3

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 4

Can I use a primer instead of paint?

Accepted Answer

There are situations where you can use a primer instead of paint. Primer alone is often enough when you need temporary coverage before construction is complete, when you are covering utility spaces where appearance doesn't matter, or when you are using a primer-paint combo product. However, primer without paint leaves a porous surface that can absorb dirt and moisture, leaving you with a flat and unfinished result that can chalk or wear down over time. When you want color, protection, and a washable finish, always include paint as part of your process.
