Looking at painting grow room since seems to be best option. Not sure if all matte white is the same With new brands and such on market. I am Just curious on everyone’s updated thoughts on best brand and color code so I could replicate.

Thanks

Matt flat white with a high titanium oxide count too...will make you grin!

3 coats is good maybe one every 2 years

its a great way to reduce mold spores in your space

good luck

I used a semi gloss pure white from Behr. Washable, mold resistant, looks fantastic and has amazing reflectivity.

ben moores whitest white(in flat) is their "Muresco Ceiling white". if youre concerned about mold,there are packets of mildewcide(mold inhibitor)you mix right into your gallon of paint.ask where you buy your paint from,they should have it

Appreciate the help. I will define fly pick up the mold inhibitor to ensure no issues since it’s a 2’ wife space and airflow could get tight.

I’ll also take a look into the paints.

im sure any white(as long as its white/white,lots of off-whites out there) will do.i was just throwing out the ben moore if you were a real stickler about your whites lol.it would be nice to use a semi gloss or gloss as that is really easy to clean,im not sure that sheen is great for reflectiveness? i believe i read you want to stick with flat,could be wrong though.keep your humidity down with lots of airflow,and mold should not be a problem.gl bro

I read semi-gloss when I was preparing my room. I have to say, as long as it's not super dirty, the semi-gloss BLASTS light off it. Very happy with it.

Either Killz or Gliddens Gripper. Both are flat white primer/sealer paints with antifungals.

I just painted the cement walls in my room with kilz primer, I think its a flat white and has the ant-fungal/bacterial additives. I paid $20/g for it a week ago and so far I like it. It seems to reflect well fit the budget.

That's the stuff. Its basically purpose built for our uses.
