Johnchip on Nov 01, 2016Not to worry. As it is a ceiling it will get no traffic. Your sanding now should be enough. Kiltz prime it, then paint it should holdup just fine.Helpful Reply

Donpaulin on Nov 01, 2016Do as you said, but wipe down with a type of liquid sand to not only remove the dust but you can easily get into the cracks. Forget the "no traffic comment" - paint peels due to chemical reaction, or lack of bonding no matter the traffic. And, since most good paints now claim to be primer-finish coat in one, Kilz is not necessary unless you are killing a stain. I would use a good (usually determined by price!) quality flat ceiling paint. Flat will cover with two coats and you just might get lucky with one. Or not!Helpful Reply

Judypatoodie on Nov 01, 2016I think a whitewash technique would look great. It would take some time and your neck may get sore, but the end result would be amazing.Helpful Reply

William on Nov 01, 2016You've got the concept right! Light sanding to remove any shine and roughen the surface for paint. You will need to prime ( I always do). Either KILZ, BIN, or Zinsser primer. Then paint with a good acrylic ceiling paint. I have tried the "paint and primer" one coat paint. They don't always cover in one coat. They just have more paint solids in them, really not a primer. Also primer will make the paint more bright and vivid. Especially colors. Your white will look white.Helpful Reply

The7902382 on Nov 01, 2016I always use BIN primer. Thin,messy and a pain but incredible bond strength. just plan on throwing away brush and roller cover,clean-up not worth it.Helpful Reply

S on Nov 01, 2016Wash. TSP substitute Prime. STIX, 1-2-3 Paint. Choose the sheen you prefer - matte /ceiling paint will be a good choice because the will be no reflections from the grooves. 2 coatsHelpful Reply

Deanna Nassar on Nov 01, 2016Kilz is for more than stains. It also gives extra coverage to the, dark spots, in this case knots in the wood. Couple of those knots look like they may need some kind of filler to smooth them out. Get a thick knapp roller sleeve. It will help get more paint into the grooves. Roll in same direction as grooves. Don't forget the drop clothes.Helpful Reply

Linda Santo on Nov 01, 2016If you prime properly, you should be fine. There will be little "wear and tear" on a ceiling and even less in the grooves. I would go with a matte paint but I'm not sure ceiling paint will give you enough coverage. Check with a paint expert at a REAL paint store! I would also brush it on WITH the grain-gives a really class;y look to a wood ceiling-something a roller will never give you.Helpful Reply

Debi53 on Nov 02, 2016There is no need to sand. Use a liberal amount of liquid sandpaper, making sure that you have enough on your cloth to get down in the grooves. This will make the surface tacky so that the primer will have something to grab onto. Be sure to read the directions carefully. This is easier if one person applies the liquid sandpaper and someone else follows behind with primer within the time frame that the sandpaper remains tacky.Helpful Reply

C on Nov 02, 2016I have found that Zinsser BIN is the best to stop bleed thru {the knots in pine are notorious for bleeding through paint} and has excellent adhesionHelpful Reply

Mary on Nov 03, 2016Have you considered bleaching it rather than painting? That way it's light, but the wood still shines through.Helpful Reply
