Pre-finished Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard panels have a smooth surface that is scratch, dent, and damage resistant, and they should never require painting like traditional drywall. If you want to paint them anyway, here are some product recommendations and painting tips to keep in mind.
Recommended Paints
We recommend using 100% acrylic latex paint or acrylic latex paint with urethane additive to paint Trusscore panels. We also recommend using self-priming paints or primer and paint combination products where possible.
Here are some readily available paints we recommend from popular brands:
| Brand | Paint Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Sherwin-Williams® | |
| Behr® | |
| PPG® | |
| Valspar® | |
| Benjamin Moore® | |
| Glidden® | |
| BeautiTone™ |
Interior/Exterior Acrylic Latex Stick It Primer Sealer and one of the following: |
Consult your local paint specialist before starting your project to find the product best suited to your wall or ceiling. Apply the primer or paint per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Surface Preparation
To ensure optimal paint adhesion, be sure the Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard surface is clean, dry, free of dirt and any other surface contaminants before applying paint. Apply the paint per manufacturer’s recommendations. Sanding Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard prior to applying primer or paint is not advised or required.
We recommend consulting your local paint specialist before starting your project to find the product best suited to your wall or ceiling and before making your final color choice we recommend you view an actual paint sample or color swatch in person.
Color Matching Trusscore Panels
If you're installing Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard or Trusscore SlatWall panels in combination with painted drywall, you may want to color match to create a unified design.
