Anyone care to recommend a good paint for a newly-plastered bathroom

be good too, as I have a newly-fitted bathroom below it.

Any advice on actually doing the job welcome too; don't think I've
painted a ceiling before.

Allow new plaster to dry out thoroughly to pale pink colour.

Apply mist coat of emulsion. Let it dry fully.

Apply coat(s) of Dulux Trade Supermat. Allow to dry between each coat.


If you are getting mould, then that suggests that there is inadequate
ventilation in the bathroom after bath/shower. So open windows or fit
extractor fan though that might have been better done before new ceiling
went up?



I've never had a problem with undiluted Crown emulsion on newly
plastered ceilings. I have had trouble with Dulux though.
