Waterborne Ceiling Paint

An ultra flat finish made for ceilings. It hides seams and patches, and spatters less overhead.

What it’s for

Light crosses a ceiling at a low angle and finds every seam, patch and roller lap. Waterborne Ceiling Paint is ultra flat, the flattest finish Benjamin Moore makes for ceilings, and it stays wet long enough to roll out without lap marks. It is also formulated to spatter less overhead.

It comes in Ceiling White, or tinted to any Benjamin Moore color, so a ceiling can carry a quiet version of the wall color. It primes itself on drywall and on painted ceilings. Bare plaster and wood take a primer first, and we will tell you which.

It is made for ceilings, not for walls or surfaces that are touched. It goes on between 50°F and 90°F. Indoors that is never a concern; a garage ceiling in July can run hotter.
