Any ideas on how to paint celotex?
The shop I've inherited (on the corner of our lot) was finished with
celotex. I've tried painting it, but it is really absorbent. Also,
where there had been water leaks from the ceiling, the celotex is
discolored, and paint doesn't cover the stains.
My intent is to paint it white to brighten up the shop. I've been
using a brush and roller, and I'm considering spraying paint in the
future.

It has been decades since I saw that on walls and even longer since
painting it but IIRC it was oil prime, paint.
