Hi. Just started our bathroom and had the ceiling plastered and its almost ready to paint. My neighbour said about using a exterior masonary paint. Is this a good idea or is there anything better available?
Acrylic eggshell is a good choice as it is extremly durable so if you have alot of condensation that builds up it will withstand it. Also it can be cleaned if need be. DIY shops sell vinyl silk and soft sheen as bathroom paint but if you go to a trade shop they will recommend a/eggshell.
For new plaster, if you decide on acrylic eggshell i would thin down the first coat with 10% water instead of using contract matt for the mist coat.
I surpose technically you could use masonry as its designed to work outside in the rain.
I recommend Zinsser Permawhite for any bathroom ceiling where there is the remotest chance of condensation/mould appearing. It can be tinted to most pastel tones.
