treesner Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Any recommendation for paint that dust won’t stick to? Would like to do a white that helps light the space on plywood or T111 but know dusty walls is a thinn ive dealt with on drywall shops so wondering if there’s something good I can coat it with?

Chestnut Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Go with a slightly tan tinted off white. Then you'll never know the difference when they get covered in dust. Anything in gloss is probably your best bet. I don't think there is a dead ringer solution other than a leaf blower a few times a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think dust will stick to anything, but semi-gloss or gloss will be easier to wipe or blow the dust off. I did my shop in semi-gloss & the dust just blows right off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Dust sticks primarily due to static. No way around it in shop walls. Even if you can, cobwebs will trap it. Cross breeze and blowers are good friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted August 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 So you guys got me curious. I have never thought much about dust on the walls so I went out tonight and looked this is 15 years of dust on the egg shell white wall at the back of my shop...No comments about the door trim it was early in my journey LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TerryMcK Posted August 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I’ve given up brushing dust off my walls. I just leave it in place and let the tablesaw cover it up with more dust. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
