Steps to Paint Gypsum False Ceiling
I found that sometimes false ceilings come with joint putty. If your false ceiling doesn’t have, then you have to use a fiberglass on the seams and layer with a jointing compound before preparing the surface with a coat putty.
I came across the following process for painting gypsum ceiling:
Preparation
You need to use sandpaper and sand gently on the dried joint putty surface for smoothness.
It’s best to use powdered cement-based putty mixed with water. To hide the seams, you can now apply the putty evenly on the joints.
Make sure the joint putty is dry, before you sand the ceiling again.
Priming
You can use a roller, brush or a spray gun to cover the micro pores of the putty by using a water-based primer and spreading it in even layers to prevent moisture absorption.
The primer will seal the surface and help the paint stick better.
Painting
Select a good quality paint that suits the gypsum ceiling with resistance to fading and molds.
Start mixing the paint by following the manufacturer’s directions and you should use clean tools before painting.
You should put on at least two layers of paint, allowing each coat to dry fully before adding the next.
Maintenance
Regularly wipe your ceiling with a damp cloth to keep it clean and free from dust, and avoid excessive moisture.
Repaint the ceiling immediately, if you see any cracks or peeling.
I hope you find this information helpful.
