POP (Plaster of Paris) ceilings are very popular in Nigerian homes, but they are prone to hairline cracks, yellowing, and flaking over time. The best paint for POP ceilings in 2026 must be flexible, low-odour, and highly adhesive to prevent these common problems while delivering a beautiful, smooth finish.
