KilZ 2 Question on ceiling painting.?

I have a ceiling that needed a bit of repair due to water damage. I have repaired, and applied Kilz2 for two coats. It looks good. Do I need to put another coat of paint, or is just the Kilz enough?KilZ 2 Question on ceiling painting.?
Primer left on its own will have a tendency to discolor. Paint the ceiling with finish paint. You are best off paint the entire ceiling to avoid having the repair ';flash';. You can get Ceiling White paint at most paint stores, and it's generally several dollars/gallon cheaper than standard wall paint. Hope this helps.KilZ 2 Question on ceiling painting.?
Keep in mind that Kilz is just a primer, not a paint. That means that there's glue in the primer so dust, cobwebs, etc. will stick nicely to it. It's always best to put at least one coat of paint on top of a primed ceiling.





That being said, if it looks good, you're in a rented place and you won't be there long, then by all means, leave the primer alone. If however, you're in your own home, do take the time to apply at least one coat of ceiling paint.
cecilia,





If it looks good leave it alone. If the paint matches the rest of the ceiling, it's fine.





good luck
