Answers to pro painters’ most pressing questions by Rick Watson

I want to remove cigar odor in a garage. What paint can I use to do this?

First, I would recommend a thorough cleaning using a good cleaner/degreaser. Then I would recommend applying a prime coat of pigmented shellac to help block stains and odor. Once that’s dry, apply a coat of good acrylic paint.

Recommended: Harmony^® Interior Acrylic Latex Paint contains Odor Eliminating Technology, which helps reduce ambient odors of organic origin, like pet, cooking and smoke odors to keep the area fresh moving forward.
