Can you use Dulux ceiling paint as a primer?

Hi Guys,

 

Am I able to use Dulux ceiling paint as a primer/sealer/undercoat on prepared new plaster/top coat?

 

Thanks,

 

Lee

Re: Paint

Hi @Lee777,

 

Dulux ceiling paint doesn’t have priming, sealing, or undercoating properties. I wouldn’t recommend using it directly on new plaster or topcoat if your goal is to prepare the surface. For the best results, it’s worth using a dedicated sealer/undercoat first, then applying your paint over the top. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
