Finished Basement Interior Painting

This week Donigan Painting had the pleasure of working at an old neighbors house from Eastwood in Jamesville Dewitt in a Harrington Home.  Jim and Alisa just bought a new home and had their very large basement finished with new walls, flooring, molding, electrical and paint.  Since we were starting with new sheetrock, new primed molding, new raised panel doors a series of paint application's were needed on each surface.  Starting with the new sheet-rock we applied one coat of Purcell's Pittsburgh Seal-Grip Acrylic Primer to all the walls and ceiling.  This primer is a step above the contractor grade primer and provides better coverage and grip for new paint.  It does an excellent job of sealing mudded joints so there is no flashing or paint failure with successive coats.  After the primer had set up over night we applied two coats of Pittsburgh's Bright White Flat Ceiling Paint.  Following the ceilings being painted we applied two coats of Benjamin Moore Ultra-Spec 500 Low Sheen/Eggshell in Grant Beige to the walls.  Once the molding and doors were installed we returned to apply 4 thin coats to the doors and 2 coats to the molding with Benjamin Moore's Advance® Waterborne Alkyd – High-Gloss.  Before applying paint to the doors all hardware was removed and replaced once finished.  We also polyurethaned the stair rail leading to the basement.  Here is how it turned out!
