Basement Painting?



Can the Plastic/WOOD walls often found in basements be painted?
If so, what paint should I use?
Thanks!


Answers:


1I'd use a primer first (after washing them) and then use a paint based on your environment - for instance, mildew/mold resistant if damp - otherwise, I prefer a satin waterbased but an oil based will work too - more durable.
Flat paint will be hard to clean - satin doesn't add much if any reflection and will absorb light while easy to clean and gloss paints are too shiny but still easy to clean.
