Painting new plaster in bathroom

colin H · 15 Dec 2009

Hi folks
Weve just had our bathroom re-plastered . whats the best paint to use in terms of application , and keeping mould off . Ive heard vynyls are a no-no - is this correct . also there seems to be some debate on how long to leave to dry - some say 4 weeks - others , as soon as it looks dry - any thoughts ?

cheers , colin .

Drying time depends on humidity/temerature..If it looks/feels dry then it probably is

First (mist) coat should be thinned 20-30% .
Mould will form eventually on any emulsion , just clean and touch-up when neccessary..or paint with oil-based eggshell
