On top of that, I wanted a uniform even light spread with no hot spots. I personally painted because it is easier than gluing, cutting and/or mounting rolled pieces of material. There are different mediums you can use for your walls. You can see in Taedon83 pics, that he has massive light loss and hot spots to boot. Costs about $50/gallon and does 97.2% reflectivity. If you are feeling rich, there is titanium white paint. If your mini split can heat, thru that thing on right away and bake the room. At least 30 minutes between each coat and a few hours for the KoolSeal. After venting we were amazed how effected we were. We weren't sure if we were high on it for days since we didnt vent much. Do vent this one for sure, open windows and spend hours in fresh air afterwards, etc. This will get you high too, a very coma-like high, strangest paint high I have gotten. After that, I recommend 2 coats of KoolSeal Reflective Roof Acrylic paint (Elastomeric Paint) (90%-95% reflectivity with a nice flat white base, located in roofing isle). Don't buy any Home Depot or Lowes house paints, they are tinted water, Glidden or Olympia would work. After that 2 top coats of any brand Flat "Ceiling White" paint (Ceiling White is very bright, 80-85% reflectivity). I would do 2 coats of Killz Oil based (fumes will get you high, its like a drunken/slap happy high), 2 coats of that will have a nice strong sealed base. I will have a UC Evolution 18 buckets, 13 gals a piece, and don't want the humidity to seap into the walls and cause mold or mildew growth on the exterior or interior surface. I want this room to be as water vapor proof and sealed as possible. Do I use both of these or just one? Do I need to buy something else? I already bought two cans each of Kilz oil based primer/sealer (in the white can with red letters) and Kilz water based latex primer/sealer premium in the gold can). I will be buying the stuff from Home depot. So if anyone could just tell me specifically what to use then it would be a tremendous help. One person recommended that i use an oil base primer and then after it dries coat it with a water based latex, but then I read online that the water based latex won't stick to an oil base. I keep hearing different things on how to do this. The HVAC guy is coming Friday morning to install my mini splits and I need to have the rest of my drywall hung, sealed and painted.
