Painting new Drywall Plasterboard

Once the new drywall is sanded you can then paint. Its important to start with a wallboard sealer undercoat and roll it onto the drywall plasterboard. If not the paint could later peel in future years. We then put two coats of “Tradex” ceiling paint over the top. cutting then rolling every time. Taubmans Tradex Ceiling has a dead flat finish and is designed to minimise banding on new plasterboard. For use on new work and repaint for ceilings. Excellent opacity, No roller splatter, Easy to spray, Dead flat finish. Stir paint well in a circular lifting motion for 5 minutes before use with a broad flat paddle. Apply one coat of Tradex UltraPrep (where required) and two coats of Tradex topcoat (Ceiling, Matt, Low Sheen or Semi-Gloss) by using a good quality brush and roller sleeve (12mm for Ceiling, Matt & Low Sheen; 8-10mm for Semi-Gloss). Extra coats may be required for application by brush only. It is also important to avoid using poor quality or worn rollers and brushes as they can adversely affect the final finish.
