Default Repainting a Bathroom

any paint can have a mildewcide mixed into it.
made for high moisture conditions such as bathrooms.
ask at your local paint store

- Is there special paint that needs to be used for bathrooms?

To avoid mildew on the ceiling:
- use only gloss or semi-gloss paint on the ceiling (no flat, eggshell,
satin,
etc.)
- best to use an oil-based paint on the ceiling, instead of latex
- install a vent fan, if there isn't one already
- use the vent fan *every*time* the shower is in use
