When I was renovating my house a while ago, one of the things on my priority list was to paint the gypsum board walls in my living room. But I didn’t know if the gypsum board could be painted just like that. I had heard a lot of mixed opinions on that, so I searched up online can gypsum board be painted. I found out that you can indeed paint a gypsum board, which is also called a drywall.  

Can You Paint Gypsum Board? 

  • Firstly, I found out that drywall, or gypsum board, can indeed be painted. For the best results though, the surface must be properly prepared. I began by making sure the boards were dust-free and clean. All that was needed was a quick wipe down with a moist towel. 

  • I then used a primer made especially for plasterboard. This step was essential for ensuring even paint coverage and sealing the gypsum board's porous surface. For a smooth finish, I used a roller and a premium primer. By the time the primer had fully dried, I was excited to finally start painting. 

  • I decided to paint the room with a gentle white colour satin finish to make it more classy. The process was quick and easy with a roller, and I was really impressed with how smoothly the paint covered the already prepared surface. Upon applying two layers of paint, my walls appeared really clean and fresh.

  • During this process, I figured out that having patience is very crucial. Achieving a polished appearance needed for me to allow sufficient drying time in between coats. 

So from my experience I learnt that painting gypsum boards is not only feasible but, with proper execution, can produce really nice results. All you need to do is spend a good amount of time to prepare your walls first for the paint’s finish to be fine and even, and you’re good to go. Hope this answers can you paint over gypsum board.
