What kind of paint covers cigarette smoke?

A white-pigmented primer is the best option for covering nicotine spots in one coat.



Is there a paint that can be used to cover the cigarette smoke?

Paint applied directly on top of stains or odors will not cover them. To prevent them bleeding through your paint, you will need to use a solvent-based stain-blocking primer. Zinsser’s Cover Stain is an oil-based stain blocking primer that may work.

Will kilz also cover cigarette smoke? I would recommend Kilz as a stain-covering primer. It can tackle tough stains such as rust, smoker, nicotine and grease. KILZ Max also seals smoke smells. Apply a topcoat of latex or oil-based paint.

How do you remove cigarette smoke from walls and ceilings?

Cleansing Nicotine from Walls: Begin by gently cleaning the walls using a vacuum and an attachment for an upholstery brush. This will help get rid of all loose debris. Make a cleaning solution using one gallon hot water, three tablespoons dish soap and half a cup baking soda.

Is it possible to paint walls without putting nicotine on them?

To prevent smoke and nicotine from leaking through, you will need to prepare the walls before you paint. Clean the walls using an aggressive cleaner, then seal them using a stain-blocking primer. This will prevent stains from getting through later. Remove all furniture from the walls.
