Hi, I'd like some advice please. I want to paint my garage ceiling white. The garage is attached to the house and has the central heating boiler in it so it does not get too cold or damp but not as nice as inside the house. The ceiling looks like concrete and has not been previously painted. A bit of research says:

1. PVA sealer - opinion is divided some say it does not allow the paint to stick as well as it could

2. Regular internal emulsion - simplest but might not stand the conditions for long. Maybe dilute the first coat?

3. External Masonry paint

4. Resin paint - https://www.resincoat.co.uk/en/home/...l-coating.html

Any advice appreciated, Mike

What "conditions"?

'Contract Emulsion'.
Non-vinyl, high solids, good opacity, breathable, cheap, totally adequate.

Hi Jim, The conditions I mean - not outdoor but slightly colder and more damp than fully indoor - I hope that makes sense!

Thanks Tim

BTW I wouldn't use PA without good reason. Esp if there is any damp
around. It will form an impenetrable film which will blister and peel.

Any of those & many more can be used. The main tradeoffs are durability, fumes, cleanability, cost. Take your pick. I wouldn't rush to use pva myself. If for some reason I did, make sure its well diluted so it doesn't create a slick surface.

I have to say, most people I see doing it are using external type paint,
the sort you use on walls which have been rendered.
If its used as a garage though, then you need something that won't flake off
and make the car look like its been to a wedding.

One difference is, you have to make sure the garage interior
surface doesn't have mold or mildew on it. If the ceiling is
a dark color, you have to make sure the surface is fit for painting.

The neighbors garage back home, was so filthy inside, you would
not expect any sort of finish to stick to any of the surfaces
inside. Not all garages are that dirty.

What about oil-based eggshell?

Thanks everyone - I think I will give it a go with two coats of trade emulsion
