- Ceilings
- Budget
- Low voc
- Spatter resistance
A cheap, low-spatter dedicated ceiling paint that gives a clean matte finish, best over sound previously painted ceilings.
Pros
- Spatter-resistant flat formula reduces drips and mess during overhead rolling
- Very affordable at roughly $23-25/gal and paint-and-primer in one on clean surfaces
- Dead-flat, non-reflective finish hides minor ceiling imperfections and won't telegraph roller marks
Cons
- Flat only, so it's not scrubbable and is easy to burnish if you touch it up
- One coat rarely covers stains or a color change; water stains need a stain-blocking primer first
- Ultra Pure White tints only to light colors, limiting design flexibility
