Hi all,

Just had the garage lined with insulation then covered with Plasterboard
that has had the joints taped and sealed. This area will be part Utility
room and part "free use" space. It has a double glazed window and door.

I would normally paint (prime / undercoat) thinned emulsion onto the
plasterboard as a first step

Question:-
I want to paint ONE coat of paint onto the Plasterboard to effect a durable
finish. The type of finish is not really an issue ( I.e Matt, Silk,
Weathershield , slightly textured etc.)

Any hint, tips etc will be gratefully received.

Regards

Don

The surface of plasterboard is paper, not plaster :-)

Mike,

A tad to literal for me !!

Any emulsion will do the job but if you really want 'durable' then
consider something with a lot of vinyl in it, like Crown mid sheen or
similar.

You will not get a good finish in one coat whatever you use (if that
matters to you.)
