Category: Paint-Painting - Topic: Painting Your Bathroom Ceiling

Determining the type of paint for your bathroom ceiling is more complex that understanding the difference between latex and enamel paint. If you are painting over an existing project determine the type of paint that was previously used. Most often ceilings are painted using a latex based paint. If it is determined your bathroom ceiling has latex paint, use latex paint on your project.

Also, depending on the previous color of your paint, consider priming the paint with a high quality primer to help the new paint sit better and stay beautiful longer. Painting ceilings, if in the budget, should be done by a local painting professional. They can ensure that the consistency of the paint on the ceiling remains standard throughout (maintaining consistency on bathroom ceilings can be extreme difficult). A painting professional will also help you select the correct paint as the bathroom area is a “high moisture” area and should be painted accordingly.
